The United States Navy (USN) is one of the eight uniformed services of the United States.

Throughout its history, the Navy has successfully met all its challenges. America's naval service began during the American Revolution, when on Oct. 13, 1775, the Continental Congress authorized a few small ships. 

From those early days of naval service, certain bedrock principles or core values have carried on to today. They consist of three basic principles:

• Honor,
• Courage,
• Commitment. 

The U.S. Navy provides great support to U.S. interests in the 21st century. It has the highest total combat fleet tonnage and the largest aircraft carrier fleet in the world.
