Why do you think the continental nay avoided the british naval fleet?

The Continental Navy avoided engaging the British naval fleet primarily due to its limited resources and smaller size. The Continental Navy lacked the ships and manpower to confront the well-established and powerful British Navy directly. Instead, the Continental forces relied on guerrilla tactics, privateering, and strategic partnerships with foreign allies like France to disrupt British supply lines and gain naval advantages. This strategy allowed them to conserve their strength while still challenging British dominance at sea.
