#1 Happy birthday U.S. Navy. The Continental navy faced several obstacles -- mostly political and economic. Some things never change.

#2 I would suggest:

Six Frigates: The Epic History of the Founding of the US Navy

Ian W. Toll, publisher W.W. Norton 2006
audio book feature Stephen Lang (and he does a fine job)

The book deals with the Congressional, not Continental, Navy of 1794.
