Pirate Issue

The Continental Navy served as the forerunner of the United States Navy for more than 240 years. During the American Revolutionary War, the Continental Congress of that time gave permission for two armed ships to hunt for ships that were supplying the British troops with guns and ammunition (1775–1783).

The Continental Navy was disbanded after the war, but because of pirate attacks on American commerce ships, President George Washington passed the Naval Act of 1794, which established a permanent standing US Navy.
