I would not say that "Swiss Navy" was an oxymoron per se. The Swiss

But I'm not sure what your point is apart from
showing that you know Switzerland is land-locked.

It is not your pride getting in the way of you at least recognizing that Swiss navy could be regarded as an oxymoron for obvious reasons?

You may think you are joking but there IS a Swiss Navy. Lake Geneva and Konstanz both border other countries so they have a navy patrolling those waters. And commercial boats protected, on the Rhine.
