The U.S. Navy began its life as the Continental Navy, established by the Continental Congress, and which fought during the Revolutionary War, before the U.S. Constitution was ratified and the United States became a sovereign nation. Even though the U.S. Navy started as the Continental Navy, the U.S. considers October 13, 1775 as the official U.S. Navy birthday, which is why it appears to be older than the country.
The Department of the Navy was established on 30 April 1798. Note that there was a Navy during the War for Independence, it was established by the Continental Congress on 13 October 1775. That date is observed as the "official" Navy Birthday. That forefather of the Department of the Navy was effectively disbanded at the end of the war. All of the remaining naval ships were sold off and the personnel sent home.
