Ah lets add these great photos here since they're dancing on board ships.

Not exactly a warship, but a mock up one christened the USS RECRUIT. Sailors from the Brooklyn Navy Yard in my hometown of New York, New York on a Navy recruiting drive in Union Square Park in 1917 have a little fun (note a Navy Goat brought along for show)

A WWI group I think, it's a small image as we see, the only one I could find (sometimes there are larger images of the same photo on different sites), so can't seem to make out vessels name.

A pair of WWI Saliors do the Tango, ship unknown, looks like a Square Rigger right?

These admittedly are from a couple of 1936 movies, still good fun, and were good movies for the Navy and the public during the depression.

 

 

Follow the Fleet, the Marine Detachment wants to cut in

 

 

 

James Stewart as a CPO and his shipmate Buddy Ebsen with another shipmate cut a rug in Born to Dance. Stewart and Ebsen's characters are Submarine Crewmen.
