So I have to mention that the Marine Corps was disbanned at the same time and then reformed in 1779. It really just comes down to marines being better at PR
Technically that still gives the Corps seniority, 'cos the Navy was not reformed until 1790, ironically because of that whole "Shores of Tripoli" thing.

My guess is he was asking how Cannoli usually observes Kristalnacht in particular.

It is still odd to think that the USMC predates the USN.
