Narrative:
Cleared for visual approach at orf, switch to tower and cleared to land at 1000 ft full landing confign. Tcasi goes off 'traffic.' we look and see nothing. Tcasi indicate possibly behind us. Navy ship set this off about 50% of the time I land orf. We finally pick up a cessna at 12 O'clock position, landing also it appears. We apply go around procedures and bank left and climb, do a left downwind and are cleared to land again. The cessna should not have been in our airspace as we were cleared the approach and cleared to land.
