Why did President George Washington did not want this country to go down hill?

Because he fought hard for it and he knew the cost for it (many lives, including people he knew). He knew the country was based upon a system that was completely different than the political system he was used to and wanted freedom for all people who were willing to fight for it. If it goes downhill, then the things he wanted, desired, and the sacrifices that the people fought for are in vain.

Washington still has Naval Vessels Stationed there, some in Bremmerton, Everett and other Cities. Washington never had its own navy as it was never its own country.

The United States does have a Navy, and has had one since it first commissioned USS Constitution on October 1st, 1797 as one of 6 frigates, two years after George Washington stepped down from being president, so no, President George Washington did not have a navy serving under him.
