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.
First attested in English in the early 14th century, the word navy came via Old French navie, fleet of ships, from the Latin navigium, a vessel, a ship, bark, boat, from navis, ship. The word naval came from Latin navalis, pertaining to ship; cf. Greek Î½Î±á¿¦Ï (naus), ship, Î½Î±ÏÏÎ·Ï (nautes), seaman, sailor. The earliest attested form of the word is in the Mycenaean Greek compound word ðððð , na-u-do-mo (* naudomoi), shipbuilders, written in Linear B syllabic script.
