Navy Moves is an action game developed by the Spanish studio Dinamic Software and designed by Víctor Ruiz. It came out in 1988 for ZX Spectrum, Amstrad CPC, MSX, Commodore 64, Amiga and Atari ST. It is the second game in the Moves series, which Víctor Ruiz had started with Army Moves.

The game has two levels. In the first, the player crosses a minefield by boat, dives past sharks and frogmen, and finally fights giant octopuses and a giant moray eel in a bathyscaphe. In the second, the player infiltrates a nuclear submarine, collects codes from its officers, brings the vessel to the surface, sets a bomb and sends a message to be picked up.

According to Spanish Wikipedia, Navy Moves became the best-selling game in Dinamic's history.12
