On this day in 1775 the Continental Congress created the Navy. Now 245 years old!
"A good Navy is not a provocation to war. It is the surest guaranty of peace." - Theodore Roosevelt
"I can imagine no more rewarding a career. And any man who may be asked in this century what he did to make his life worthwhile, I think can respond with a good deal of pride and satisfaction: 'I served in the United States Navy.'" - John F. Kennedy
" I have not yet begun to fight!" - John Paul Jones
Go Navy!!!!
