It is only considered Air Force One when the president steps foot onboard. I used to work at Andrews AFB and that plane used to come in on alert from time to time.
Navy ship, no. However if he is on a navy aircraft, then yes, it would be Navy One. Same principle applies to when you see the Marine One helicopters. Since they are marine owned and he steps on board, the same rule applies.
