It doesn't - authority for the creation of a Navy is given by the Constitution, and Congress, with the Constitutional authority of spending, is responsible for the annual budget (and thus support of) the Navy.
Every fiscal year (beginning in October, not the start of the calendar year) The Navy gathers inputs from all fleet commands as to its budgetary needs and wishes, which are then forwarded to the Chief of Naval Operations. The "wish list" is pared down, then forwarded to the Secretary of the Navy, who makes further adjustments. This in turn goes to the Secretary of Defense, then ultimately the President, who forwards the budget proposal to Congress. They in turn pare it down more, and it's sent back and forth until a compromise figure is reached. Typically, the Navy (as do the other branches) always ask for more than they know they can get approved, and the final figure that is approved is usually close to what they originally wanted anyway.
January and February are the busiest months for Appropriation requests.
