LHJE NAVY AME? The Second Continental Congress established the Continental Navy on October 13, 1775. During the Revolutionary War, the newly-created Navy never had more than 27 ships. The Navy relied on the support of privateers who had been defending the harbors and shores of the colonies since 1661. Successes by the small Continental Navy were well documented during the Revolution, yet the Navy was disbanded and the last ship was sold in 1785. In 1794, the U.S. Navy was once again established by Congress to protect U.S. shipping in the Mediterranean against Algerian pirates. Two of the six frigates constructed, the CONSTITUTION and the CONSTELLATION, are still afloat today. Famous names during the first 100 years of the Navy included: John Paul Jones, Robert Morris, Stephen Decatur, Oliver Hazard Perry, George Bancroft and David S. Farragut. During the first 100 years, naval hospitals were established by Congress, Antarctica was discovered, the Navy suffered its first mutiny, the trans-Atlantic cable was laid, the Confederate Navy surrendered, petroleum oil was tested for use as a fuel source and the USS INTREPID, the first warship to be equipped with torpedoes was commissioned. -' il 'l , .fi lui.

QF YIES'Il'IEIH2NVKIE!AXIF3 TQLMUQDLRRLRRQNM The next 100 years of the Navy showed more emphasis on technological development. The Navy's first submarine was constructed, the Navy Hospital Corps was established, and the Great White Fleet made its around-the-world cruise in 1907. Commodore Robert Peary raised the U.S. flag at the North Pole and the Navy's first airplane was ordered in 1911. The Navy commissioned its first aircraft carrier in 1922 and the Seabees were established in 1942. From 1946 to the late '50's the Navy became electronic, nucleonic and supersonic. On January 17, 1955, the first submarine using nuclear power, the USS NAUTILUS, got underway. On July 7, 1948, the first enlisted woman was sworn into the regular Navy. In 1959, four naval aviators were among seven men selected for prospective astronauts and John Glenn made the first manned orbit ofthe earth in 1962 in the FRIENDSHIP VII. The Navy also played an important part in the tracking of manned and unmanned space craft as well as being responsible for recovery of manned space capsules. The 60's, '70's and '80's saw not only advancements in surface, air and space technology but also the use of nuclear power for fuel as exemplified by the newly-commissioned carriers, USS EISENHOWER, USS NIMITZ and USS CARL VINSON showing the capabilities to steam for 13 years without refueling. 18888181 Sig' ' '-5 ,.
