Happy 240th Birthday, U.S. Navy!

On this day, the United States Navy Celebrates 240 Years.

The U.S. Navy traces its roots back to the privateers that were employed to attack British commerce in the early days of the revolution. On October 13, 1775 the Continental Congress, established a small naval force, hoping that a small navy would be able to offset the uncontested exercise of British sea power.
