DescriptionThe United States Department of the Navy was established by an Act of Congress on April 30, 1798,
to provide administrative and technical support, and civilian leadership to the United States Navy and
the United States Marine Corps (and when directed by the Congress or President, the United States
Coast Guard). It is headed by the Secretary of the Navy, also known as the SECNAV in naval jargon.
He is assisted by an Under Secretary of the Navy.

The Department was a cabinet position, along with the War Department [Link] which contained the
US Army until 1947 when the National Military Establishment was formed, later renamed Department
of Defense (DOD) in 1949. The Department of the Navy then became a component of the DOD.
