Is Free Trade Really Free?

Query for the day:

From the Delian League to the Pax Americana, it seems that the largest advocate of free trade at any given time and place in history has also always had a large surface fleet. Is the large navy the result of having a large economy, is the large economy the result of using the large fleet, or does a fleet need to exist in order for truly free trade to exist?
