Who created the navy?

The United States Navy was created on Friday, October 13, 1775, at a meeting in Philadelphia of the Continental Congress. The Congress voted to fit out two sailing vessels, armed with ten carriage guns, as well as swivel guns, and manned by crews of eighty, and to send them out on a cruise of three months to intercept transports carrying munitions and stores to the British army in America. This was the original legislation out of which the Continental Navy grew and as such constitutes the birth certificate of the navy.

Why did they need a first continental congress -?

It was needed to respond to the unjust terms and rules applied to the colonists by way of the Coercive Acts also known as the Intolerable acts. Also the first national American government was the Continental Congress. Colonial leaders came together in this Congress to oppose British policies that restricted their rights and taxed them without representation in Parliament. Called by the Virginia House of Burgesses, delegates from all of the thirteen colonies ,except Georgia, gathered in Philadelphia. The 1st Continental Congress urged Americans not to import British goods and to form armed militia. But rather than advocate revolution, Congress called for "peace, liberty and security" within the British empire. The British Parliament saw the Congress as treasonous and ordered colonial governors to prevent another election. Yet the 2nd Continental Congress met in May 1775.
