October 13, 1775 the Continental Congress authorized the arming of two ships thereby giving birth to America's sea service.

As we celebrate the Navy's 231st, we note that like today that day in 1775 was also Friday the 13th.

The Continental Army and the new Continental Navy didn't get along, so less than a month later the USCM was established.;)

I'm surprised I didn't hear anything about it. In this area it's a pretty big deal yet I haven't heard anything until I read your post.

Any way, happy birthday!
