Joe, I'm ex-Navy myself too. I appreciate seeing the gear get used after
it
is surplused.

Here's a neat link:

I also have a Navy issue sea anchor, anchor windless, Pea Coat, Foul
Weather Gear, Chelsea Chronometer, Compass Binnacle, Case Bos'n chair
and knife, and a mint in the box Navy issue Colt 1911 pistol never
fired. If it's good enough for the US Navy, then it's good enough for
me.

Now you are making me jelious. If the 1911 was never fired, are you sure it
wasn't issued in the Italian/French Navy?

You need a Navy sextant.

Do you think the tomcats will be on the Govt surplus auction sites?
I bet John Travolta will buy one, he has a nice collection of planes.

They will wind up in museums. There is something about a US Navy jet flying
on the deck above Mach 1, I get goosebumps.
