The United States Navy turned 243 years old on Saturday.
On October 13, 1775 the Navy began after a resolution was passed by the Second Continental Congress.
Over the years, the Navy has evolved into a military force that can’t be matched, says Business Insider.
“Today, we celebrate 243 years of our #USNavy‘s critical role in protecting and promoting American interests worldwide and honor our shipmates’ immense contributions to our nation’s history and security.”
