| Jr. Officer   |  Happy birthday, Navy! Happy birthday, Navy! Staff report Posted : Saturday Oct 13, 2007 11:25:41 EDT Today is the 232nd anniversary of the fleet, a chance to honor the customs, culture and history of sailors and their service. On Oct. 13, 1775, in Philadelphia, the Continental Congress voted to fit out two sailing vessels, armed with 10 carriage guns, as well as swivel guns, and manned by crews of 80; the members resolved to send them out on a three-month cruise to intercept transports carrying munitions and stores to the British army in America.
