Navy enlistment questions by
Atcrossroad
It's quite loser's story but, hell, I'll not fall lower by telling it.
I've made a big mistake in my life, namely, I've got a Ph.D. in
engineering from a second tier graduate program. Since graduation, I

Aircraft Carrier naming by
Bob
Anybody else bothered by the naming of US aircraft carriers after
people who were still living at the time? I'm sure that Carl Vinson
(CVN-70) & John C. Stennis (CVN-74) did good thing but to have a
carrier named after them? I wish the US Navy would go back to naming
carriers after famous battles &...

Nickname for Apache helicopter by
Jim Beaver
An online article suggests, without citation or reference, that the U.S.
Marine Corps nicknamed its Apache helicopter (through three models) as "The
Duke," presumably in honor of actor John Wayne.
I cannot find corroboration for this statement in web searches. Has anyone

I'm surely not the Senior Naval Aviator (remember that? "SNA"?) attending
to this News Group although I may be the among the oldest - first carrier
