Yes. The oldest continuously operating Sea Service.
The operative word is 'continuous'. The Continental Navy and Marines were discontinued aftet the Revolutionary War.
Their present counterparts were established after 1790.

I'm an ex boat builder and nz is surrounded by water. We have happy coast gaurd every day here. Most check in with coast guard when off for fishing. Checkin out when get back. Alot here in nz donate too. Others whom don't get whack on knuckles or fined if stupid. Or they confiscate boats and vechiles too. Happy coastguard and fisheries equals happy water happenings. Many would perish without their services. Good on you for helping to enlight others. Magic.
