Good morning all!

Steve! How have you never heard of an Eiffel Tower? You obviously didn't hang out with many Marines lol.

[Little Red L98.]

Hard though it may seem to believe, I consider you amongst my friends. How’s your daughter?




Oh and would you or Jim or Hal or Ben try this? Asking for a friend.

Stopped by on my way back from the vet for eggs. I may never buy greens or strawberries from a grocery store again.

Marines? I was in the nuclear Navy; Marines aren't allowed within a mile of anything with the word "nuclear" in it.

Where we live has been hit directly by one, yes that's correct, just one, storm of hurricane strength. That was 56 years ago. You're more likely to burn from a wildfire than we are to be hit by a hurricane.

Now I have to question your Navy credentials. Didn't you ever serve on a carrier?

Ships used to have a Marine detachment (MARDET) that provided security but this is being steadily phased out to my knowledge

What they won't say here is the reason for the phase out of Marine security onboard. What where they providing security for??? Hmmm??? With those items no longer onboard there was no reason to keep the Marines onboard a carrier.

I can neither confirm nor deny the below statement that I found on the internet.

Back in the bad old days of the Cold War, each Aircraft Carrier had an ammo locker full of various types of nuclear weapons. It is the policy of the U.S. Navy to have Marines guard nuclear weapons facilities (still true today, which is why there are Marines at King's Bay, Georgia, and Bangor, Washington, guarding the stockpiles of Trident D-5 warheads). Since the carriers had nuclear weapons storage, they obviously needed a detachment of Marines to guard them, leading to a reinforced platoon-sized (about 40-60) Marine unit assigned to each aircraft carrier, completely separate from whether or not there were Marine aircraft embarked. At the time, there were smaller Marine detachments (30-40) on guided-missile cruisers and the recommissioned battleships, which also carried nuclear-armed missiles.

Declassified: US Nuclear Weapons At Sea
the 1980s deployed about a quarter of its entire nuclear weapons stockpile at sea. The all-time high was in 1975 when 6,191 weapons were afloat, but even in 1990, after the fall of the Berlin Wall, there were 5,716 weapons at sea. That’s more nuclear weapons than the size of the entire US nuclear stockpile today.

An interesting read

There are two types of nuclear powered vessels in the Navy; submarines and targets. I never served on a target.

I was waiting for that exact response.
My BIL has a ball cap that says almost the exact thing
“There are only two types of vessels at sea. Submarines and targets”
