#1 I had Bee.

“As secretary of the Navy, it is my aim to ensure equality and eliminate gender discrimination across the Department of the Navy.

That sounds easier to do than preparing to fight a war. Or even making sure our ships don't run into things.

#2 I've never been able to find it online, but I once read a hilarious spoof of Clive Cussler novels that featured the USS Alice B. Toklas.

#7 No big deal if they'd name a ship after John McCain. I know, I know...war hero and all that. But still...

#12 Off the "nautical fakery from yesterday-ish" pile...

Through a Scope, Hopefully, by Norman O'Leary (& diverfe Burgers)

Himself, on his porch at Mount Vernon:
"Me ship o' state! Martha, she's turnin'!"
"Sure, ever athwart
As she circles to port,
Rudder jammed, crewed by boarders, and burnin'. Hoorah!"
"By the Republic, turtledove, I sometimes wish I'd never sent ye to that female empowerment seminar at the Y."
"Aw, jayzus... here we go again with all yer feckin' patriarchal bullshite!"
"Sorry, dear."
Five minutes later...
"Now hurry up and get dressed, Georgie, or we'll be late for that orgy at the Jeffersons."
