The United States Navy holds a proud tradition that goes back to 1775. It holds the honor of being the world’s most powerful navy. Its massive fleets are matched by no other Navy in the world. There are well over 400,000 personnel that are enlisted and commissioned in the Navy. Originally it was known as the Continental Navy during the American Revolutionary War.
Since then it has progressed drastically through its size and commitment to protecting United States. Its first considerable show of growth was during the American Civil War when fleets were known as the Union Navy. It was during the chaos of the Civil War that the Navy would go through some unexpected changes. The steam engine was starting to become widely used and would become the new upgrade in various ships.

The post-Civil War Navy had a period of no progress though it still had to maintain duties protecting American soil. It was in the 1880s before the Spanish-American war that the Navy would go through a major overhaul. For the first time the United States Navy would have a battleship.
The Navy would soon find itself becoming much larger and strategically capable than ever. This would occur at the beginning of the 20th century and the start of World War I would pull the Navy into combat with a great deal of success. World War II would be the monumental change that impacts the world. After being attacked at Pearl Harbor, the Navy had overhauled fleet size and the technologies involved with ships.
