The entire Pacific Fleet of the US Navy has never been sunk. When Japan bombed Pearl Harbor on December 7th, 1942, just over 50% of the ships assigned to the Pacific Command were sunk. Throughout WWII, many ships were sunk, some the original ships from the Pacific, some that came over from the Atlantic. The US, so far, has not suffered true defeat at the hands of any foe.

How old is the navy?
The US Navy is older than the USA. The birthday of the US Navy is October 13, 1775. The Royal Navy of Great Britain is traced back to before the ninth century. The present Royal Navy was formally created as the national naval force of the Kingdom of England in 1660. As history repeats itself in cycles, before the British Navy there was The Spanish Armada (Grande y Felicísima Armada or Armada Invencible) literally "Great and Most Fortunate Navy" or "Invincible Fleet") was the Spanish fleet that sailed against England under the command of the Duke of Medina Sidonia in 1588. The purpose to overthrow Elizabeth I of England and end her involvement in the Spanish Netherlands her privateers in the Atlantic and Pacific. We then go to the Roman Navy, during the course of the First Punic War (264 BC), the Roman navy was massively expanded during that war. Before that... The Greek and the Persian navy were both quite powerful. You have to go into the dark days of unwritten history at this point as fires, book worms, and other misfortune tidied up, but in the year 2000 BC or so the Egyptians had a naval force considered the leader. I imagine even before that there were boys battling each other in the creeks and stream to dominate the know world and their brothers.

Did the colonists had a stronger Navy than the British navy?
The American Colonies in the time of the American Revolution most certainly did not have a stronger navy, in terms of pure numbers or technology. England was, around that time, the most powerful naval power in the world. There is no doubt to that fact. The Royal Navy employed well over 600 vessels, from tiny sloops to first-rate ships of the line. However, their navy was not employed in one area; Great Britain had naval forces spread over the earth as a result of their size and power. Ships patrolled the waters around various British colonies and such, or were engaged in wars or operated out of naval bases located throughout the world. Halifax, in Nova Scotia, was the headquarters of the British North American Squadron and they operated out of that port for the majority of the American Revolution and War of 1812. The Colonies had the advantage of fighting in their home waters, which they knew well. Many of the sailors and captains in the Continental Navy were originally merchants or had worked in the Royal Navy in the past, and as such had the advantage of local knowledge and tactics and training employed in the Royal Navy, on top of the fact that the North American squadron was not provided with the number of ships and men they requested, and were thus limited in their fight against the rebelling colonists, whereas the colonists had numerous ports to operate out of which. The American Navy managed to win the Revolution through a combination of luck, skill, and misfortune on the part of the British, on top of the established European superpower of the French fleet. british had a stronger navy.
