1t was the prospect of trouble with an
alien people that called the navy into
being. During the revolution. in which
such captains as Patrick Barry, John
Paul Jones and Esek Hopkins made
the patriot cause redoubtable upon the
seas. naval affairs were intrusted to a
marine committee. The few public
cruisers which remained after that
costly conflict were sold, and when the
Dey of Algiers began to prey upon Am
erican commerce, the infant nation was
for the moment powerless to protect its
own. This led Washington to urge
the creation Of a naval force. Congress
in 1884 voted money to build six frig-
etes, the Constitution, President, Unit
ed States, Chesapeake, Constellation,
and Congress. and on April 80, 1873, the
