Oliver Cromwell did not build the British navy in a conventional sense, but he significantly expanded and reorganized it during the English Civil War and the Interregnum (1642-1660). The establishment of the Navy as a more formal and powerful institution occurred under his leadership, particularly with the creation of the New Model Army and the establishment of the Commonwealth in 1649. Cromwell's efforts laid the groundwork for a more professional navy, which would later play a crucial role in England's maritime dominance.

How was the us navy put together by the continental navy?

After declaring independence the US attempted to build a navy. George Washington personally bought the first ship which was destroyed immediately. The Congress agreed to build 13 ships but only 11 were built. Of these 6 were destroyed by the British, 2 were destroyed to keep them from the British, 2 were captured by the British, and one was accidentally burnt by its own crew. The Navy was gone, but thanks to the French Navy we survived. During the war of 1812 it was obvious we needed a Navy and that is when a permanent Navy was established.
