The United States Navy, also known as USN, is a service branch of the United States Armed Forces specializing in naval warfare. It was founded as the Continental Navy in 1775, during the American Revolutionary War. After the war ended the navy was disbanded due to lack of funding. On March 27th, 1794, the United States Congress passed the Naval Act of 1794 establishing a permanent standing navy, creating the United States Navy that we know today. The USN is the world's largest navy and has the largest aircraft carrier fleet. In addition, it is the third largest of the service branches of the United States Armed Forces. R. A. Keeler (used by)
