Navy
This is part of a list of operational conditions, like at port, anchored, emergency, sinking, etc. It is a naval vessel, so fuerzes could mean arms or armed - I just really have no idea. Any suggestions for navegando would be good too, I have thought of underway and cruising, but neither is very satisfactory. Thanks. Here's the phrase:
"Navegando sin fuerzas embarcadas"
"Navegando sin fuerzas embarcadas"

If it is a Navy vessel, it is a weapon (a weapon system, actually) in itself, and no matter how light, it carries (at least), machine guns and, very probably, artillery and missiles too. These are operated by the crew, therefore the crew are an armed (and seriously armed), force.
The only possibility I see here is that they are talking about an amphibious ops vessel (or force), in which case it would make a lot of sense: They would mean that the ship(s) do not carry the landing forces (that is, for the US Navy as an example, the ship carries the full crew, but has no Marines aboard.
