They're not suited for Arctic weather, but for general cold/chilly weather, they're pretty good. Mine saved me when I was in Submarine school in Groton, CT, in the middle of February.
Of course just like anything else, what you're wearing under it is a big factor as well. If you're butt naked, it's not going to do much good, but if you're wearing dress blues or something else that's fairly good for cold weather they can be quite toasty.

How much does it cost to operate an aircraft carrier per day?
The Nimitz-class carriers cost was initially around $675 million; that figure has grown to between $4.5 and $6.2 billion to produce. This is due in large part to upgraded multirole systems, hull redesign to improve efficiency, and their role redesignation from strictly attack to ASW and other threat prosecution operations/defense. While the newer carriers may initially cost more to produce, their long-term operational costs are expected to be lower than previous ships of the class.
The newest Ford-class carriers are expected to cost around $9 billion each (in 2010 dollars). However, given the history of new-construction programs, that figure is likely to be much higher. There is also a possibility given the current budget situation that DoD will revisit the construction plans due to its overall cost, and opt to continue to build the cheaper Nimitz-class vessels

All ten Nimitz-class aircraft carriers were constructed between 1968 and 2006.

The Navy SEAL emblem or rather the more correct term 'insignia' is made up of four different symbols; Anchor, Eagle, Trident and a Pistol. In each talon the eagle is holding something, in the eagles right talon it is holding a trident which symbolizes the 'sea king Neptune'. In its right talon the eagle is holding a cocked pistol which symbolizes both that they operate on land and that they are always prepared and ready. The anchor displays that the SEALS are a part of the Navy. Here is a detailed image of the Navy SEAL insignia: http:/patrioticseal.comTrident1.jpg Most correct is breast insignia. The Eagle symbolizes attack. We are totally offensive. The eagle is pouncing, if you will. The job: aquire intel, catch or kill bad guys.

None of the branches of the US military is the easy way out of anything. From day one arriving at training the service member is challenged at all levels. Trainees are stressed at the physical, psychological, intellectual, and emotional levels to prepare them for potential and likely. Combat experience. The military will test you and everything you've ever learned. It is not an easy life. Be certain it is the direction you want to take before you take the oath. Be certain you know what is ahead and that it is the life you want. It is a.road once taken that is never easy to change.
How long are you deployed in the Navy?
It depends entirely on the ship you're on and the current mission. Surface vessels typically have longer deployment schedules than submarines, because they are more easily resupplied at sea. Submarines only resupply in port.
A typical submarine deployment is anywhere from 3-5 months, but a Carrier Task Force can be deployed from 9 months to a year or more depending on the current mission and if there are any global crisis. However, since they have aircraft, sailors can be rotated if the mission requires it or there's a family emergency. Submariners don't have that opportunity unless they're close to a port and it won't impact the current mission.
Being a sailor is not easy - unlike the other branches, sailors are away from home more than they are at home. I calculated during my first year aboard my boat (I was fast-attack submarine sailor) we were at sea or away from home port a total of almost 300 days. However, once you're at sea, you always want to go home, and once you're home you want to get back to sea. There are advantages to being at sea also - you're away from the everyday BS that goes on in regular life - bills, shopping, commuting, etc.
Every sailor I've ever known always complained about being at sea, but on the other hand wished they were at sea again also. It's hard to explain without experiencing it first hand, but I wouldn't trade the experience for anything. While divorce rates can be high, those that don't make it probably wouldn't have lasted anyway. Typically the spouse isn't prepared for being alone and running a household. I was fortunate in that my wife was a sailor as well - we were enlisted and married during a period where in-service couples were rare and there wasn't much policy. At that time, women couldn't serve on board combat vessels yet either. But being a sailor, my wife had a better understanding of what I was going through and was able to cope better. We just passed 28 years last April.

What is the practice of forcing people into the navy called?
The practice used in the British Navy (among others) was called impressment and was used to fill ship's crews. It was also called "pressganging" for the "press gangs" (impressment teams) that performed the practice, often with violence or threats of violence. Impressment of nominally British-born American sailors was one cause of the War of 1812.
The practice is colloquially called "Shanghaiing" - in the days of sailing vessels, ship Boarding Masters (responsible for finding able bodies for their ships) would literally kidnap much needed manpower from the bars at various ports. Those engaged in the practice of shanghaiing sailors were known as "crimps". Though primarily associated with the US northwestern ports, the term applies to any similar practice of impressing sailors into service against their will. It's hard to fight when you're stuck on a ship at sea also; your choices are either work or hope you can swim to shore.
The term is believed to have originated from the port destination of Shanghai, China, a common destination for ships with abducted crews.
The practice survived into the 20th century, until laws were finally passed in the US that ended the practice. However, it was normal practice in Iceland up until the 1970's
