Actually, the Navy mascot is not a ram it is a goat. According to some, the reasoning as to why the goat became the US Navy mascot, is that ships used to set sail with a variety of livestock in order to provide fresh food for those onboard. Goats, happened to be part of the livestock. In exchange for the garbage, leftovers and undesirable food, the goats would provide sailors with milk and butter.

No. She was a heavy cruiser of the regular US Navy. Brown Water Navy was a special part of the US Navy that existed in only two wars: US Civil War (1860s) & Vietnam War (1960s).

The USN Brown Water Navy was basically a river navy, in both the Civil War & Vietnam. In Vietnam the BWN consisted of Swift Boats, PBRs, ASPBs (aka Alpha Boats, ASPB stood for Assault Support Patrol Boat), and Monitors. The Civil War Monitors were armed with 11" guns in turrets & the Vietnam Monitors mounted either a 40mm or 105mm cannon in a turret.

According to the Code of Federal Regulations (32 CFR 700.716), Navy ship Commanding Officers are specifically prohibited from performing marriage ceremonies outside the territories of the United States. The CFR section reads as follows:

"The commanding officer shall not perform a marriage ceremony on board his ship or aircraft. He shall not permit a marriage ceremony to be performed on board when the ship or aircraft is outside the territory of the United States, except: (a) In accordance with local laws … and (b) In the presence of a diplomatic or consular official of the United States."

US Northern command

Upon arriving or departing, the Quarterdeck watch (surface ship) or topside watch (submarine) strikes the bell 4 times.

The watch announces over the ship's general announcement circuit (1mc) by ringing the bell and then announcing the officer is arriving or departing. The sequence is 2 bells, short pause, 2 bells, then that the CO is arriving/departing. This is also done for any flag officer or other CO arriving or departing.

For example:

If the CO of my old boat, USS RAY, were departing, the procedure would be:

(on the 1mc) 2 bells, pause, 2 bells, "RAY, departing".

The CO is always referred to by ship name in these instances. For CO's of other boats, ships, or ashore/flag commands, the procedure is the same, substituting their ship or command name to announce their arrival or departure.

For example:

CO of Submarine Squadron 4 would be "Submarine Squadron 4 arriving"

CO of USS Seawolf would be "Seawolf, arriving"

Each officer is afforded 4 rings on the bell.

SF 1c is the old WWII Navy rating for a Shipfitter 1st Class.

IT means that he hold the job of Information Systems Tech. The 1 means he is at the pay grade of E-6.

IT's use to be RM's (Radiomen) however the rate changed its name to IT not too long ago.

IT's that I worked with in the navy did one of two things they either worked with radio equipment setting up radio networks, data networks and things of that nature. Or they worked on the ships computer network/LAN. They hold the crypto for the radios and networks.

In my opinion it would be considered one of the better jobs in the navy. Air conditioning rules.

A one star Admiral is actually called a Commodore. During peace time there are no commodores. The Navy goes from Captain to Rear Admiral with two stars.

AFCM is the rate/rank acronym for a Master Chief Aircraft Maintenanceman. While there is no specific AF rating below Master Chief, the 3 Aviation Boatswain's Mate ratings ABE (Launching & Recovery), ABF (Fuels), and ABH (Aircraft Handling), all combine at the Master Chief (E-9) rank to form the overall AF rating, signifying supervision of all 3 Aviation Boatswain ratings.

A supreme general of a Roman army is a man. That's about all that can be definitively said. The Romans had no name such as, say, Field Marshal. Several legions commanded by one man was simply an army or as referred to in speaking, "Caesar's legions" or ""Scipio's legions." However Roman legions were commanded by men who had either been praetors or consuls. The highest military rank was reserved for the emperor. On occasion the emperor would grant certain men of consular rank some of these special powers temporarily. Agrippa, Tiberius and Drusus were granted these powers by Augustus, Corbulo and Vespasian under Nero, and Titus and Mucianus tuner Vespasian.

Navy battle stars were awarded to Navy combat units during WWII, Korean War, and Vietnam who successfully completed (i.e., they weren't sunk) combat war patrols, or saw combat action against the enemy. Granted, there were likely posthumous awards, but that's hardly gratifying.

Since then, the annual "Battle E" (Battle Efficiency) is awarded instead to the best combat units who have displayed superior battle efficiency in place of combat operations against the enemy.

This is due in large part to the fact that their haven't been any Naval campaigns or major Naval battles/combat action in over 40 years.

Gold has marks and gold chevrons on a Navy enlisted uniform indictates the sailor has achieved 12 consecutive years of active service with Good Conduct. Each hash mark indicates 4 years of active service.

The analysts found that 21 percent of military personnel are black, compared with 12 percent of the general population.
