With the American Revolutionary War becoming a sure bet, the Continentals were surprised to find that they owned not a single Ship of the Line or armed merchantman and decided to create the US Navy. As an afterthought, they made the decision to protect that investment by creating the US Continental Marines and authorized two battalions for immediate recruitment.
