Seems like as good a place as any to post this YouTube video of the history of aircraft carriers from LANGLEY to ENTERPRISE.
I skipped the ads about how older men can greatly increase their testosterone levels and sexual performance, but that might be the highlight for some of you.

Another presidential yacht, this time the former gunboat USS Williamsburg. Originally built as the 234 ft, 1,800 ton private yacht Aras in 1931, she was purchased by the US Navy in 1941 and converted to a gunboat operating mostly out of Iceland. After the war, the USS Williamsburg was converted to a president yacht for Presidents Truman and Eisenhower. Renamed Anton Bruun, she was then transferred to the National Science Foundation and converted to an oceanographic research vessel for 20 years. In the end, she was purchased by an Italian firm to be converted to a luxury cruise ship but the deal came apart. The ship eventually sank, was raised and then scrapped.
As a sidenote, one of the Marine security guards was Private First Class, later Private, later Private First Class Steve McQueen who was promoted 7 times and busted back 7 times due to discipline issues.
This included a 41 day stint in the brig (some might say cooler.)

Another famous actor who wore the Eagle, Globe & Anchor. One of 6 out of 247 Marines in “I” Company, 3rd Battalion, 24th Marines, 4th Marine Division who survived the Battle of Saipan, he was wounded twice. Like McQueen, he had discipline problems and was busted from corporal back to private.
Name this Leatherneck.
That’s gunslinger Kid Shelleen!

She was a Marine as well. God will get you for that, if you don't get the answer

I’d have to ask one of the Golden Girls.
Hey, Iwo Jima Day is just around the corner!
Here’s a famous navy helicopter pilot for you...probably has a teen girl tied up in the back of his Sea King.
