What was the board of navy commissioners?

The Board of Navy Commissioners was established in the United States in 1815 as a governing body to oversee the administration and operations of the Navy. It was responsible for advising the Secretary of the Navy on various matters, including shipbuilding, personnel, and logistics. The board aimed to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of naval operations, but it was eventually dissolved in 1862, as the needs of the Navy evolved and a more centralized command structure became necessary.
