Product Review - U.S. Navy Flag


The United States Navy was originally established in 1775, largely to offset the powerful British naval forces. However, a debate in Congress ensued as to whether to maintain a navy and, for the most part, the United States did not have a navy until the mid-1790s after war broke out in Europe. Today, the United States Navy is one of the most powerful arsenals this country has in fighting enemies at home and abroad. Able to provide fighting forces in the air, on land and on the sea, the United States Navy is routinely called on by its country to defend freedom around the world.

David Glasgow Farragut was the Navy's first Admiral. Known for capturing the key port of New Orleans in the Civil War, Admiral Farragut's naval service started before the war at the ripe old age of nine. He saw his first battle at age 11 and commanded his first ship at age 12. Now, that is amazing!
