i've seen interviews where this was addressed, and he didn't claim to invent the thing - but a case could be made that he helped shepherd it in a bureaucratic manner.
i don't think at that stage it was meant for the general public, wasn't it supposed to protect government computer networks after a nuclear war or something?

I don't know about his Navy career. Maybe he did have a part in creating
the network indirectly. Does the Navy help draft bills?
