I recently sailed past battleship row on Ford Island on a carrier and in passing, the Captain announced our passage and all hands on deck saluted and there was complete silence as we went by.

I was impressed about the level of recognition for our sacrifice at Pearl Harbor, and really impressed at how automatic the response was from all hands without prompting.
