Don’t forget the Salton Sea.

I had done some research before I visited, but I didn’t realize until later the role this played in the Manhattan Project.

if you are ever in the area check it out, and don’t forget to stop at the Dr Seuss JesusLand. (my name for it)

I divide the Pacific and Atlantic oceans into North and South thus increasing the number to 7.

When I was in the Coast Guard you had to be 6 feet 3 inches tall to get in, so you could walk back to the base if your ship sank.(I sware)(archaic past of swear)

You're correct.

I'm surprised the Chinese didn't buy the name for the 6th. /s

This is only National Geographic’s opinion.

The proposal was submitted to the International Hydrographic Organization but thus far not approved:

The 1953 edition is still in effect:

Pretty sure I saw a movie 40 years ago that asserted there were 11 oceans. Don’t remember the plot but the title sticks in my memory. Might have been a documentary.
