what was the first war of the united states?
american revolution
the first war that an organized united states merchant marine took part in was the american revolutionary war, which lasted from 1775 to 1783. in 1775 the continental congress and the various colonies issued letters of marque to privately owned, armed merchant ships known as privateers, which were outfitted as warships to prey on enemy merchant ships. they interrupted the british supply chain all along the eastern seaboard of the united states and across the atlantic ocean and the merchant marine's role in war began. this predates both the united states coast guard (1790) and the united states navy (1797). during the american revolution, american ships came under the aegis of france due to a 1778 treaty of alliance between the two countries.
