Development of aircraft, tactics, weapons and naval combat and services are also under the primary tasks of the US Navy.

History:

The US Navy can be traced back to the Continental Navy (formed during the American Revolution) and was soon disbanded after the war. Our constitution granted a legal sanction for the seaborne military by giving the Congress the power to “provide and maintain a navy”. In 1974, The Naval act was formed thus the US Navy was formed.

It also bears the inscription “Department of Navy” at the top and “United States of America” at the bottom separated on each side by a mullet and within a rim in form of a rope. The inscriptions, mullet, rope and edges of annulet in the seal are all in gold.

The land in the insignia symbolizes the Navy’s supporting shore facilities and the fleet’s amphibious strike capabilities.
