Home›Small Arms And Sidearms›Operator›United States NavyArmed Forces and UnitsUnited States NavyModernReference and ClassificationDevelopingThe United States Navy was established by the Continental Congress in 1775 as the Continental Navy to contest British control of the seas during the American Revolutionary War, was formally reconstituted under the Constitution in 1794 amid the Quasi-War threat from France, and has since grown into the dominant global maritime and naval aviation power of the modern era, organized around aircraft carrier strike groups, submarines, surface combatants and naval aviation. The Navy played a decisive role in securing American independence at sea, in projecting power during the nineteenth century's expansion, and above all in the Pacific theater of World War II, where carrier battles at Midway and elsewhere broke Imperial Japanese naval power and established naval aviation as the dominant form of modern sea warfare. Since 1945 the Navy has maintained a forward-deployed global presence built around its nuclear-powered aircraft carrier fleet and ballistic-missile and attack submarine forces, underpinning American strategic deterrence and rapid power projection capability throughout the Cold War and into the present. The service operates alongside the Marine Corps, with which it shares the Department of the Navy, and remains, by tonnage and reach, the most powerful navy in the world in the twenty-first century.FactsUnited States NavyConnectionsIn the Other AtlasesSourcesComments (0)Reader Challenges (0)FactsForce TypeWell-attestedMaritime service branch of the United States Armed Forces 1Founded YearWell-attested1794 1Traces informal origins to the 1775 Continental Navy; 1794 marks the Naval Act establishing the first ships of the Navy, per the same source.CountryWell-attestedUnited States 1Force TypeForce Type (category)Well-attestedNavy 1United States NavyFilter Results20 entriesWeapon ClassAllMachine Gun (2)Pistol / Revolver (3)Rifle (8)Small Arm (6)Submachine Gun (2)Sword / Polearm / Bladed (1)Weapon FamilyAllAssault Rifles (1)Assault Rifles of Germany (1)Bolt-Action, Lever-Action and Historic Rifles (3)Edged and Bladed Small Arms (1)Other Pistols and Handguns (1)Other Small Arms and Personal Weapons (1)Pistols and Revolvers (5)Revolvers (1)Rifles and Carbines (9)Semi-Automatic Pistols (3)Semi-Automatic Pistols of Germany (1)Semi-Automatic Pistols of the United States (2)Shotguns (1)Sniper, Designated Marksman and Anti-Materiel Rifles (5)Submachine Guns (2)Introduced EraAll1860 (2)1880 (1)1886 (1)1895 (1)1902 (1)1905 (1)1941 (1)1945 (1)1949 (2)1970 (2)1988 (1)1989 (1)1996 (1)2002 (2)2003 (1)2004 (2)2005 (1)2006 (1)ManufacturerAllAccuracy International (1)Browning Arms Company (1)Carl Gustafs stads gevärsfaktori (1)Colt's Manufacturing Company (2)Emerson Knives (1)H & R Firearms (1)Heckler & Koch (1)Military Armament Corporation (1)Naval Surface Warfare Center Crane Division (2)Remington Arms (2)Smith Enterprise Inc.
