The historical battles of Lexington and Co … The historical battles of Lexington and Concord in Massachusetts sparked the beginning of the American War for Independence on 19 April 1775; soon after, the rest of the thirteen American colonies were pulled into the conflict. Many of the leaders in the rebellion recognized that a naval engagement against the British was the primary option to prevent the British from restoring Crown rule by military occupation. While all the original colonies had experience with militias formed for service on land from existing citizens, and could draw upon long-standing British military traditions for the training, equipment, tactics, and leadership of militia, few could draw directly upon existing naval militia traditions, as maintaining warships—and the crews, training, equipment, and leaders to properly employ them—was an expensive proposition from which the colonies had benefited under the (relatively) benevolent protection provided by the British Royal Navy, and its supporting arm, the Royal Marines. Accordingly, nine of the 11 colonies eventually commissioned naval warships, and the sailors and Marines to crew them, initially filling a gap in military capabilities before the Continental Navy was capable of operations. After the Continental Navy (and Marine Corps) began operations, the new state navies (and Marine detachments serving aboard some of the state naval warships) continued operations and occasionally combined with the Continental Navy and Marine Corps for joint operations.avy and Marine Corps for joint operations.
