#7 Well, I couldn't identify the species, but your comment brings back extremely fond memories of a Japanese girlfriend... Oh, wait, you were being snarky? But even the, um, er, nevermind. ;-)

#8 Uh, guys... I just checked the net, which confirmed my earlier belief that the only naval facility in the state is the Naval Air Station at Belle Chase, which is on the West Bank. I don't know of any naval bases in the sounds close to Lake Ponchatrain (which sound like they mean Chandaleur Sound, Lake St. Catherine, and Lake Bourne...) There's a naval base in Pascagoula, which is further to the east, and a construction unit of some sort based in Gulfport. (There's also a NAS up in the Meridian/Laurel area, but it's not on the water).

You can find out more about the base at Pascagoula at wikipedia, or at the base's website. It was started in 1985 as part of a dispersed basing plan, and is scheduled to close under the 2005 base closure/target consolidation plan.
