    Interesting that the United States established a Navy while they
    were still a British Colony, not gaining independance until 1776.. B)

    The first battle was in April of 1775 so, in that context, I can see why. ;)

    Here is what AI told me when I asked about the Marines:

    November 10, 1775: The Second Continental Congress passed a resolution in Philadelphia to establish the Continental Marines at Tun Tavern.

    1783: The Continental Marines were disbanded following the end of the American Revolutionary War.

    July 11, 1798: President John Adams signed an Act of Congress to re-establish the
    permanent United States Marine Corps.


    Mission & Roles

    The Navy: Focuses primarily on maritime dominance, sea control, global security, and
    operating naval vessels, submarines, and aircraft carriers.

    The Marine Corps: Functions as an expeditionary and amphibious rapid-reaction force
    specializing in ground combat, seizing beachheads, and crisis response.

    I am always willing to learn :)
