Discussion
You will notice that "floating" is used for maintenance facilities like floating dry docks, and not for operational ships/boats.
"maritime" is used for pre-positioning ships.
In general "maritime" is more generic. We don't know what the ships/boats in the Persian text are. I imagine that the US Navy would have a specific names for them. But since we do not know those names, we can use "maritime" to indicate they operate on the sea.
