Continental navy
| Морской словарь |
This was the name of the maritime force of the united states from 1776 until 1794 when the united states navy was founded. also known as navy of the thirteen united colonies, it had an inauspicious beginning and a generally undistinguished war of independence. commissions were awarded as political patronage with little consideration of seafaring or military experience. drunkenness and desertion were as common in the wardroom as on the lower deck. there was no time for purpose-building, so most of the ships were merchantmen with gunports hastily sawn into their hulls. american shipwrights had virtually no experience of warship design and made many mistakes. none was delivered on time, and those that were launched often lay at the docks waiting for ordnance, rigging, stores, and crews. when equipment did arrive, much of it was substandard. only two of the frigates survived the war; seven having been captured and inducted into the royal navy, while four more were scuttled to avoid a similar fate. the last one, uss alliance, was abandoned on a mudbank in the delaware river, where her rotting hulk remained until the 1920s. overall, continental privateers did better than the navy; about 2,000 letters of marque were issued and their holders wreaked havoc on british trade. however, two continental navy officers managed to seriously damage the royal navy’s feeling of invincibility. captains lambert wicks in 18-gun brig reprisal and john paul jones in 18-gun corvette ranger raided and took prizes off the english coast, and shortly afterward jones obtained command of bonhomme richard, a french east indiaman converted to 42-gun frigate. in her, jones circumnavigated the british isles, creating turmoil along the english, irish, and scottish coasts, and topping it off with a victorious single-ship action against hms serapis, a new, faster, purposebuilt 44-gun frigate.

- Self-suficiency concerning information. independent systems are closed to information. variation outside the boundaries of independent systems do not affect the variation within. there is no input. in statistics, two variables are independent if the coocurance of their values is mere chance, e.g., zero correlation. in logic and set theory, two variables are independent if the relation between them is the mere cartesian product of two properties. two individuals are independent if each does what he wants to do, neither having to consider the behavior of the other. a clock is designed to be independent of variation in temperature, geographical location including gravity while it is correlated with other clocks and communicating its output states to an observer. independent systems maybe a source but not the receiver of communication (->closed system, ->closure). .
