The Continental Navy was established 13 October 1775, it was mostly a token guesture however, as the ships were mostly converted merchant vessels.
The Continental Navy was disbanded after the war.
In 1789 the Constitution empowered Congress "to provide and maintain a Navy." In the year 1794 Congress first acted on that power, in response to international crises, by authorizing the the building of six frigates.
Until 30 April 1798, the Navy was under the Department of War. On this date the Department of the Navy was officially created. This is the date we use when celebrating the anniversary of the Navy.
The creation of the Department of the Navy was just in time for the Quasi War with France.
Congress established the Continental Marines 10 November 1775 as Naval Infantry. The Marines were disbanded along with the Navy
The Marine Corp was reestablished on 11 July 1798.

The Marine Corps was established by a resolution of the Continental Congress on November 10,1775. The Navy was formed on 13 October 1775. The Marine Corps is a department of the Navy. The Marine Corps' senior General (The Commandant) is responsible to the Secretary of the Navy just as the Navy's senior Admiral is.

The Marines were first . Under old school battle order if the Navy and Marine Corps go into battle together the Marines go in on the right flank in the senior service position. The Marines were formed at Tun Tavern and I think it was in 1776. They are considered a branch of the Navy

women (not "chicks") can connect any branch. i don't comprehend on the subject of the Marines, yet interior the army, we practice alongside the boys from day one, so as that we are as qualified as they are. Technically, women are not allowed in try against, yet there quite at the instant are not any front lines in this conflict. many females have fought (and a superb variety of have died) interior the try against zone.
