If you are a beginner, I recommend studying just the required liaisons and maybe the forbidden liaison sections, as these are the essentials. 1  If you're more advanced, study all three sections. It may be boring, but your pronunciation and ability to communicate at different levels of formality will improve dramatically.
The United States Navy claims 13 October 1775 as the date of its official establishment, when the Second Continental Congress passed a resolution creating the Continental Navy. With the end of the American Revolutionary War, the Continental Navy was disbanded.
The Navy colors were established 27 August 1802 when the Secretary of the Navy signed an instruction which set a pattern for the dress of the U.S. Navy in Blue and Gold. The first uniform instruction for the U.S. Navy was issued by the Secretary of War on 24 August 1791. It provided a distinctive dress for the officers who would command the ships of the Federal Navy. The instruction did not include a uniform for the enlisted man, although there was a degree of uniformity.
