106666
The Continental Navy was established in Philadelphia by the Continental Congress on October 13, 1775, which authorized the procurement, fitting out, manning, and dispatch of two armed vessels to search for munitions ships supplying the British Army in America. The legislation also established a Naval Committee to supervise the work. The Continental Navy operated some 50 ships over the course of the American Revolutionary War, but no more than about 20 at one time.

I was wrong with my earlier answer. I thought you had asked about 1787. The answer is New Hampshire and Virginia. NH on June 21, 1788 and VA on June 26, 1788. I really should start taking my Aderole again, my apologizes for my earlier incorrect answer.

The term "united States of America" was first used officially in the Declaration of Independence, adopted on July 4, 1776. On November 15, 1777, the Second Continental Congress adopted the Articles of Confederation, the first of which stated "The Stile [sic] of this Confederacy shall be 'The United States of America.'" The name was originally proposed by Thomas Paine.

Best for a future? the Air Force, best for pride? The Marine Corps. For me sir, it was the Marines...Semper Fi. As far as I am concerned, there is no other choice, but not everyone is cut out for life in my Corps. We are "the Few, The Proud" for a damn good reason. And I agree, whats up with the guy who asked, if your scores are high enough? What a jerk, quick history lesson for you, the United States Marine Corps is technically older than the United States Government, we were brought in to service November 10, 1775. We (the USA) formally declared independence in 1776. Without the USMC, there would be no Air Force.

The United States Navy can trace its origins to the Continental Navy, which the Continental Congress established during the American Revolutionary War. The United States Constitution, ratified in 1789, empowered Congress "to provide and maintain a navy." Acting on this authority, Congress ordered the construction and manning of six frigates; one of the original six, USS Constitution, familiarly known as "Old Ironsides," survives to this day.

But I must give you a background information first. And therefore I am starting to talk about 1850s. We didnt have a standing federal army and we have never thought of having one bec. we thought that no one would attack so big a country like ours. But then things started to change. We feared from loosing our commercial interests all over the world to England which was the greatest threat for our well-being in the second half of the 19th century. So our standing army was established as a Navy to protect our commercial ships and interests overseas. We always tried to adjust our filos by comparing our power with that of England. We were very careful to maintain a few more and larger ships than those of England. Iam not sure if I have to relate everything in a more detailed way. Would you please clarify what exactly you want to know
