If I was in the Navy, I’d be the “land guy.” I’d untie the ships from the, um, place.

Yo! Larry drop that bowline and trot on over to untie that stern line in.

I remain in total awe of our carriers every since seeing the USS Forestall being fitted out in Newport News from a ten foot wooden dingy with my slightly older cousin. Back in the day when that was still possible. Aside from the sheer size of the ship, the thing that sticks in my memory was how cold it suddenly got rowing from sunlit water to the deep shadow of the moored ship, like walking into cold box.

Lot of pride in that outfit.
