On this day, October 13th, 247 years ago, The United States Navy was established. Its roots trace back to the early days of the American Revolution. On this day in 1775, the Continental Congress established a naval force, hoping that a small fleet of privateers could offset British sea power. The Navy stands today with thousands of ships and aircraft serving worldwide. Happy 247th birthday to the U.S. Navy! Thank you for everything you do for this country.
Happy 247th Birthday to the U.S. Navy!
