The United States Navy traces its origins to the Continental Navy, which the Continental Congress established on 13 October 1775 by authorizing the procurement, fitting out, manning, and dispatch of two armed vessels to cruise in search of munitions ships supplying the British Army in America. The legislation also established a Naval Committee to supervise the work. All together, the Continental Navy numbered some fifty ships over the course of the war, with approximately twenty warships active at its maximum strength.

To all the Squids out there fighting the good fight: I know it can be hard. Don't do like I did, go crazy for real, and get kicked out. The Navy is a good service, but it can be too much to take sometimes. Every man has his limits; know yours. If you need professional help dealing with the stress, make sure you get it. Take care of yourselves, do your jobs, and don't let the BS get to you. And if it comes to fighting the enemy, give 'em hell!
God bless the United States, the US Navy, and the good old USS ENTERPRISE.

Since I’m a Navy Vet (86-92) I’ll chime in with a hello and thank you to all who are serving in the Navy today.

Yup, even while hauling planes and weapons we've still got room for 'baggage.'
Thanks, you guys make decent passengers, too...
