THINGS I NEVER KNEW 'TILL
NOW ABOUT THE NAVY
(Written in the U.S.S. North Car
olina, Somewhere at Sea)
That no matter what you think
about the superior officer who
barks a command at you you
will never get into trouble if you
remember the most important
wo. J in any tar's dictionary, to
wit: "Ohy" . . . And the "proverb"
eve.y officer or enlisted man has
on the tip of his fangs: "Growl you
may- -but go you must-" . . . The
Navy never calls . newcomers
"rookies" . . . They are "Hoots".
. . , The Navy has jilted its Ion
famous recruiting poster slogan,
"Join the Navy and See the
World" ... It is now: "Join the
Navy and Serve Your Country".
. . . The reason they call a battle
ship "she": Because she carries a
lot of paint to keep up her appeal -ance,
she always has a crowd of
sailors around her and she make-,
a heluva lotta noise in an argu
ment" . . . Secretary of the Navy
Knox (he is the first See'y to in
spect a submarine while it was
submerged.

a in- 'nt poll . . . American sailors'
pay s said to be the highest in the

officers are paid taller wag
in any navy's. The Navy
books are bound in lead cov-
that in event of capture by
an enemy the books can be toss

ors call Naval Reserve Officers
"meralmen'' because "they have
diver in their hair, gold on their
deeves and lead in their pants!"
(Who, me?)
There are sixteen American in-
iians in the U. S. Navy . . . The
ason the Navy is reluctant about

Members of the crew of the air
craft carrier U. S. S. SARATOGA
are pictured as they line up for Cap
tain's inspection. Aircraft carriers in
the U. S. Navy are called "covered
wagons" because their miniature
half-acre airfields serve as the top
side decks for their hangars beneath
and form the largest covered decks
of any type ship in the Navy.
At the present time the U. S. Navy
has six carriers in operation from
any one of whose decks as many as
seventy-four planes can be launched
in eighteen minutes and can be
landed in slightly more than twice
this time. In spite of their great
height and length, these carriers are
officially credited with designed
speeds of from 29 to 34 knots, which
is nearly that of the destroyers.
With new Navy ships of all de
scriptions being launched at the rate
of at least one every ten days, the
Navy and Naval Reserve need men
and offer opportunities for any quali
fied young man to receive free spe
cialized training worth hundreds of
dollars while receiving excellent pay
from the first day of enlistment.
the national ensign . . . lies Brody
has a corking piece about life
aboard the North Carolina, in Es
quire. But he says the officers get
no desserts ... He meant to say
"at the noon meal," apparently,
for the peach short-cake on the N.
C. is grand . . . That ll)-gun salvo
(every gun on the ship) cost Uncle
Samson a mere S '2 13 , 7 o 0 . . . The
great battleship, like a real cham
pion didn't blink longer than
half-a-second and then proceeded
on its graceful way . . . Captain
0. M. Itustvedt and his Executive
Officer, Commander A. G. Shep
ard, are exactly the kind of Amer
ican naval officers vou always
imagined dignified
uished gentlemen.
ul (listing-
Contrary to popular oencf a
sailor does not have to salute an
officer on board ship whenever
they meet. An officer must be sa
luted only the first time a seaman
sees him during the day. Onl the
captain must be saluted at all
times . . . Spectators at the Naval
Academy's intercollegiate boxing
matches must attend in formal at
tire. The purpose is to cut down
on the h"-)w demand for tickets.
. . . Martha Raye of the screen re
cently got word from the crew of
the U. S. Submarine Narwhal (in
Hawaii) that th-y had named her
"the girl with whi m we'd most like
to ): su'c.'.ei'L'
move her chain . . . She refused to
budge so the pilot called two
husky seamen and had them re
move her forcibly . . . Later, when
Farragut heard about it, he scold
ed his wife with: "Now, Judy, how
often have I told you that at sea
you are not the boss!"
That one recalls the time a lov
able old-timer. Commodore Joe
Fife, had his Mrs. on bo;d . . .
The Navy Department suddenly
decided that wives were to be sent
home pronto . . . Mrs. Fife refus
ed to leave the ship . . . The Com
modore reported to the Navy
