Educating boaters? At what rate an hour? Can we judge how well they are doing that job by how many boaters hit the breakwall? Is it better or worse than they're doing at keeping our response capabilities hidden?

However, all or part can come under U.S. Navy Command in wartime. It was considered part of the Navy in WW II and, as I recall, operated riverine forces under Navy command during Viet Nam. This arrangement is bureaucratically complicated, but necessary because, although it is considered a military force, it has law enforcement duties specifically denied the other military branches.<br /><br />Tom EvansAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3972382144120426476.post-53479934600369485232015-08-04T09:39:06.320-05:002015-08-04T09:39:06.320-05:00We went pretty fast, and this wasn't the boat ...We went pretty fast, and this wasn't the boat with the gun on it, and I wouldn't have touched it if it did.

It was fantastic -- the wheelhouse looked like something from Star Trek, the deck sported a crane that could have lifted a box car, and there were no screws, no rudder, all jet propulsion.
