October 13th, 1775. This was the date that lead to the formation of the U.S Navy. Remember when the Second Continental Congress

met on May 10, 1775, the colonists were already

fighting the British. Before long, it was clear that if the

Colonies were to survive, a Navy was necessary.

Therefore, on October 13, 1775, the Second Continental

Congress authorized the purchase of two vessels; the

United States Navy was born

Glad i could help! :)
