Yes, they are part of the Navy.
You are likely thinking of the Marines, who once were part of the Navy, but went on to become their own branch.
The Air Force was once part of the Army until they broke off to become their own entity as well.
Thomas Jefferson had no direct role in the writing of the Constitution as he was the minister to France while the Convention took place. Nevertheless, once he took office under Washington, as SoS, he fiercely opposed Hamilton’s plans to incur debt as you mentioned.
Although I agree that Hamilton’s actions were unconstitutional, I’ve always found it hard to take sides in their dispute because both men were advocates for a valid cause during a period of uncertainty—a strong government, as Hamilton would have it, but beholden to the people, as Jefferson wanted.
Everything is right except Coast Guard is most definitely military. Being under DoD isn't a determining factor for being military. CG has been shifted around a lot, but a big reason that CG isn't under DoD is because they have jurisdiction to board foreign vessels without it being seen as an act of war. For this reason Coasties can be sent aboard Navy vessels, and in the event of a boarding situation the CG flag can be raised instead of the Navy flag and the CG takes control of the boarding.
I stand corrected!
Prior to the start of the DS's Dept. of Homeland Security, the Navy had been a sub group of the Navy but became it's own entity to sidestep the Posse Comitatus Act.

Coast Guard is its own branch, but in times of war it can be placed under Navy control. CG falls under DHS and all other branches are DOD.
