    I'm glad the US Navy provides recreational activities like the picnics and athletic games. Nothing is too good for our service members, and especially for those among a captive audience like deployed sailors at sea.

    When I was in the United States, Marine Corps, the first Navy ship, I was on with the USS Bellwood, which was classified as an LHA 3 and it was an amphibious assault ship like a small aircraft carrier and it was so sturdy that whenever they decommissioned it, they used their photograph practice to sink it, but they couldn’t get it to sink lol they ended up having to sync it with explosives because it took several hits from military shells and airplane rackets and still wouldn’t sink

    Sorry to upset you into so many separate replies. I don't know where to go for grammar lessons as an adult. I learned in early elementary school. Maybe consider attending regularly. It may take some effort dealing with a memory like yours. Have faith! Children everywhere learn. So can you! Grammar is the difference between helping your friend, Jack, off a horse. And helping your friend jack off a horse. Implementing the good grammerz also helps in keeping us kids from teasing thems that be the less educateded. You got this!

    OK, couple things. The flight deck of an LHD doesn't have fixed wing planes, it has rotary wing (helicopter) and V/STOL craft like the F-35B. Second, the Marines don't "stear the ship", the Navy does. The jarheads are just hitching a ride 😉. And also, the cooks are not officers, they're almost all enlisted mess specialists.
