  Tyranids - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Tyranids form a superorganism traveling the universe as Hive Fleets, consuming planetary ecosystems in their path in a manner similar to locusts.
The Tyranid force, dubbed "Hive Fleet Behemoth", cut a swathe into the Ultramar sector, the realm of the Ultramarines Chapter of the Adeptus Astartes.
The brunt of this attack was borne by the Scythes of the Emperor and Lamenters chapters of the Space Marines and the Eldar Craftworld Iyanden, all of whom suffered very heavy losses.

 GW Online : Warhammer 40,000 : A Galaxy of Damnation
In 745.M41 Hive Fleet Behemoth penetrated deep within the Ultramarines' realm of Ultramar before a supreme act of heroism on the part of that Chapter defeated it at the Battle of Macragge, in which the entire 1st Company of the Ultramarines paid the ultimate price for the defence of their homeworld.
Even if the fleet is defeated, the devastation left in its wake takes an ongoing toll on the worlds of Man. The second threat is that posed by Tyranid 'vanguard organisms': creatures such as Genestealers that are able to infiltrate human society and corrupt it from within through infecting humans with their alien genetic seed.
More recently, a scorched earth policy has been instigated, one in which the defenders allow the hive fleet to expend an enormous amount of energy fighting for a given world, only for that world to be rendered lifeless through the ultimate sanction of Exterminatus at the last possible moment.

I understand the primary nature of the SM fleet - that of transporting Marine forces to and from missions and in providing support both in terms of dealing with orbital defences to reach the planet, and providing orbital support of their own once there.
In comparison to the Imperial Navy (IN), with their fleet on fleet, convoying, and overall deterence and protection roles, there is relatively little overlap - and hence the differences in both composition and capability of the ships of both sides.
