Yeah, I wrestled with that question, too.
I wondered if the bean got its name because it was the variety that was used for the soup that the Navy made or if the bean was already called that before that (maybe before any navy used it). But if the bean didn't get that name because of its use in the Navy, but was already called "Navy bean," how else could it have possibly gotten that name?
It was already late last night when I made the post, so I didn't feel like researching it. So, I just decided to consider it one of the great unanswerable mysteries of the universe and go on to bed and forget about it.
