The U.S. Navy has historically been established to safeguard trade lanes and protect merchant ships, particularly from Muslim pirates in the Middle East since its founding in 1798. There is a growing importance of U.S. investment in the navy in a more multipolar global ecosystem. Policing sea lanes has been a fundamental reason for the existence and funding of the United States Navy, reflecting the nation's maritime interests. The U.S. is urged to promote a global maritime environment that is free, open, and secure.
