The Navy has its origins in the Continental Army, which was established after the Revolutionary War and was disbanded shortly thereafter. The constitution is the legal basis for providing a “Force of the Seas”, giving Congress the power to “create and maintain a navy.” The attacks on U.S. ships by pirates of Barbary forced Congress to use this power ordering the construction of six frigates. The USN entered the world stage in the twentieth century, especially during World War II. This was part of the conflict as an improvement to flaunt U.S. Army-The attack on Pearl Harbor — the official surrender of Japan on the USS Missouri. The United States had other subsequent conflict, the Cold War, which was improved for possible nuclear war with the Soviet Union. More
