What size cannons were on Old Ironsides?
Her main armament were 24 pound long guns, which gave her a crushing advantage over her British opponents, mostly 18 pounder frigates. She also carried heavier carronades on the upper deck at times.
You need to be US citizen in order to become a US Navy Seal. You could become a naturalized US citizen. I would explore the Navy Seals website for further information. I would talk to a Navy recruiter they will know all the details about becoming a Navy Seal. Also they would be able to tell you if you are qualified to become a Navy Seal. WikiHow to become a navy seal has a visual presentation on how to become a seal.
In closing, becoming a Navy Seal is not glamorous or easy. You will be assigned on missions that could involve killing people. This is what will be ultimately asked of you. I would definitely talk to Navy seals themselves to get their perspective. Also talk to the Australian armed forces and see if they have an Australian equivalent to the Navy Seals. Also talk to your parents and other family members for their opinions. Good luck on your journey.

I think you will find that there is a version of the USA Navy Seals, or the British SAS, in Australia. Every country needs to maintain special forces for the tasks not suitable for the regular armed forces.
Do us citizens have authority to over throw U.S government?
Yes they do, but only if they aren't representing america as they should, or if they are corrupt. This is stated in the bill of rights, literally next to where it says we can all own guns to fight back against a corrupt government. If you were to do this, get alot of followers, like half of america
US citizens have the authority to vote in elections, and to respect the outcome of the election, which makes violent revolution unnecessary. And if you feel that a violent revolution would be fun, check out the fun currently taking place in Syria (in 2013). Actually, the US death toll could be tremendously higher. The US is much more heavily armed than Syria (or than anybody).
I should add that nowhere in the bill of rights does it say that we can all own guns to fight back against a corrupt government. It says that we can all own guns in order to participate in a well regulated militia. The purpose of a well regulated militia is to defend the country from foreign enemies, not to overthrow the government.
Is there a website listing all Commanding Officers of every US Navy ship?
No, such a site doesn't exist. However, the Dictionary of American Fighting Ships does list all of the ships that have been on the US Navy's roles. Some will have partial lists of the Commanding Officers. And if you have a specific need, you can contact the National Archives or Navy Department. They often have more detailed histories of ships that would include such information.
"Naval" means about, or things relating to, the Navy. For example, "Naval officer", an officer in the Navy. "Naval vessel", a Navy-owned ship (generally a warship).
Can attention deficit hyperactive person join military?
Yes. I have been in the Army for 8 years, and I have it.
I have heard from some people that it does but not in all cases. One guy claimed to use it on 3 cars. 2 were fixed, 1 wasn't. I heard it will also gunk up things like water pumps over time so would only use if you are going to junk the car otherwise.
Where do you get stationed in the navy for submarines?
The primary U.S. Submarine Bases are:
Groton, Connecticut (New London)
Norfolk, Virginia
King's Bay, Georgia
Mare Island, California (San Francisco)
San Diego, California
Bangor, Washington
Pearl Harbor, Hawaii
Groton, King's Bay and Bangor are Submarine bases only; King's Bay and Bangor are the Trident Submarine refit facilities. Groton is the traditional home of all Submariners, being just a stone's throw from General Dynamics' Electric Boat Division, where modern U.S. submarines began over a century ago.
The other bases are combined Naval Bases, meaning they have ships, submarines, and aircraft bases, as well as Command and Support facilities.
Best spots? Pearl, San Diego, or Groton. I was stationed out of Charleston, S.C., for 6 years, but NS Charleston is gone now. If I had a choice today, I'd probably pick either San Diego or Pearl - Groton sucks in the winter.

Why are there numbers on the side of battleships?
Every vessel of the US Navy (as in almost all other navies) is given a ship number within its class, as well as a name. The last US battleships were the USS Wisconsin (BB 64) and the USS Iowa (BB 61), which were removed from the Naval Register on March 17, 2006, having been decommissioned in 1992 and 1990 respectively.
Why is there no navy in Nepal?

1.) Join the British Armed Forces; pass initial training, and then serve for a few years. Most (95%+) members of the Special Boat Service are Royal Marines - although it is possible to join the SBS from other branches of the UK military, realistically your best start is service with the RM. The tiny number of SBS men who are not Marines tend be military divers (eg Royal Navy Clearance Divers; Royal Engineer divers) who want to "take it further", or infantry types who have developed a taste for water sports. To be a "good prospect" for Special Forces you need to perform very well in your job; be extremely physically fit (and be very good at land navigation, hill walking, and core "soldier skills"), and achieve rapid promotion to Junior NCO level. The majority of succesful candidates on SF Selection have at least 5 years' service under their belts - typically they'll be aged 22-26, and will be at least full corporals.
2.) Apply for Special Forces, declaring a desire to join the SBS, and if "cleared" (administratively, medically, and security wise), attend and pass Special Forces Selection and Continuation training, which lasts about six months...
3.) If you get this far (over 90% of candidates fail!), and can also pass diving aptitude etc, then attend and pass SBS Selection & Training - about another year.
4.) If successful in all of the above (and assuming you pass the highest level of security vetting), then you will become a probationary member of the SBS, but will only become a permanent member of the SBS after a year or two of satisfactory service which will include qualifying for promotion to Sergeant (if not already achieved), as well as further specialist courses and operational experience.
It's also worth noting that the SBS's "parent organisation", the Royal Marines, insists that all SBS men rotate regularly back into the Corps for periods of service in rifle companies and/ or other parts of the Royal Marines, so even if permanently assigned to the SBS, it is normal to spend six months to a year every 3 or 4 years working in such jobs as platoon sergeant in a Commando company, or in 3 Commando Brigade Intelligence Cell, or maybe as a recruit instructor or member of the Fleet Security and Protection Group etc.. Very sensibly, IMO, the Royal Marines do not like SBS men to disappear permanently into the "black hole" of Special Ops, thinking it very important (for the sake of both individuals and the Corps) that balanced perspectives and broader experiences are sustained throughout a career.
In common with all British Special Forces, officers usually only serve initial three year tours before returning to the "mainstream", but can opt (providing adequate fitness etc still pertains - usually demonstrated by repeating the "Test Week" of Initial Selection) to return for further tours at higher leadership levels - eg as a Major commanding a squadron. An officer who has served two successful tours in Special Forces, and completed successfully the other courses necessary for higher promotion (eg Staff College), may then be permanently reassigned to SF and considered for Special Forces appointments at Lt Colonel level such as Commanding Officer (SAS, SBS, Special Reconnaissance Regt, Special Forces Support Group), and then above as full Colonel, Brigadier etc..
