One time I was up there, eh -- and saw their airplane outside its hanger!

Eh?

I guess I can't laugh...the Irish Navy has one boat between them. We call them all dry land sailors. The Sea Scouts have more military experience *LOL*
To think we exported Commadore John Barry to the US! :-)

My father was a Canadian citizen who joined the US Navy during WWII. I asked him why he didn't join the Canadian Army. His response was, that would be like committing suicide. I didn't entirely understand what he meant until I read the mortality rate of the Canadian forces. It was the highest of any allied army in WWII.

Way back in the '70's,in the hight of the cold war.I was in Halifax, courtesy of the USN and saw several destroyers and an aircraft carrier, all in mothballs . They apparently thought is was cheaper and efficent to allow the USA to protect them. I'm sure they expect that today.
