patches Posted September 1, 2015 Share Posted September 1, 2015 Ah lets add these great photos here since they're dancing on board ships. Sailors on USS Olympia grace the decks in 1899 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patches Posted September 1, 2015 Author Share Posted September 1, 2015 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) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patches Posted September 1, 2015 Author Share Posted September 1, 2015 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.

patches Posted September 4, 2015 Author Share Posted September 4, 2015 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
