Their ships could move weapons, soldiers, and supplies around in ways the American Colonies could not. One of the big advantages that Britain had was their powerful fleet of ships – called the Royal Navy. Maybe Great Britain would win the war and our little two-ship navy would not even make the history books.įighting had begun on April 19, 1775. The Revolutionary War had barely started and it was not at all clear if there would even be a United States. Their theme for this year is “On Watch – 24/7 for 247 Years!”īack on October 13, 1775, like any newborn, the Navy was a tiny baby – just two ships. Happy 247th birthday to the United States Navy!
