The Coast Guard has been continuously at sea since its inception in 1790, although the name Coast Guard wasn't introduced until 1915 when the then-named Revenue Cutter Service was merged with the Lifesaving Service. Thus, today's Coast Guard is one of the oldest organizations of the federal government and, until the Navy Department was established in 1798, served as the nation's only armed force afloat.
