The United States began as British Colonies in the New World; at the time, Britain was the most successful maritime nation on the planet. Even before the Revolutionary War began, Colonial Americans knew of the importance of a strong Navy, as they were dependent on supplies from other countries, just as Britain was. Then, as it is today, supplies are primarily transported by sea, and you need a strong Navy to ensure that those vital supplies reach their intended destination.
In short, Americans, being essentially British rebels, literally took the British viewpoint that a strong Navy is vital to the survival of a maritime nation. The shipbuilding expertise and facilities were already available in Washington, Philadelphia and Boston, so building warships wasn't a problem.
