Ah, that’s why they mentioned the High School on board. I was baffled by that until I saw your post. Thanks.

You reckon if his human grabbed hold of that handle right above his tail, and picked him up and walked off, that cat would take it calmly?

Alas...  carriers haven't had Marines "guarding stuff" since '98.

Absolute truth with one exception.  The FedEx driver would say it was raining so they tossed the package into the ditch in front of the house as they were driving by..........

Of course not my real name. Just posting to note many of these posts on the Book of Faces and similar are for the purposes of harvesting personal information.

 

Birth month, day of month, year, city, state, sum of digits in zip code, all sorts of stuff. Consider these questions as one of many used to build a profile to identify you for "some" purpose. And don't provide the info, just scroll on. Or lie, why not. Corrupt those databases.

That is incorrect. The instruction said "your name backwards" NOT "your name backwards backwards". Being upside down is messing with your head.

He is in Oz, being upside down with velcroed shoes requires understandable compensation.

Nuke carriers still have a detachment of Fleet Marines on board. They provide security for the power plant and the CO.

Well... there's been discussion about this at my Monday Veteran's meetings, so I looked it up.  Anyway,  per AI:

...the practice of having permanent Marine detachments for guard duty on nuclear aircraft carriers ended in the 1990s. Today, security on U.S. Navy aircraft carriers is handled by Navy personnel, primarily the ship's Master-at-Arms, who function as military police. 

Here is a breakdown of how the security roles have evolved:

• Historical context: Historically, Marine detachments (MarDets) served on large Navy warships, including aircraft carriers. Their duties included guarding the captain, providing internal security for the ship, and securing sensitive areas.
• Post-Cold War changes: A key driver for removing Marines from carriers was the 1992 policy to withdraw nuclear weapons from surface ships. Since guarding nuclear weapons was a primary mission for the MarDets, the rationale for their large, specialized presence on carriers was diminished. The last Marine detachment left a carrier in 1998.
• Current security: Since the MarDets were removed, the U.S. Navy has fully assumed the security role on its own aircraft carriers. This is performed by the ship's security department, which is staffed by Navy Master-at-Arms (MAs). 

Marine presence on carriers today

While Marines no longer stand guard duty on carriers, they are still a regular presence on board for other reasons: 

• Aviation units: Marine Corps aviation squadrons, such as fighter attack squadrons flying F/A-18 Hornets or F-35C Lightning IIs, are commonly attached to a carrier's air wing. This means there are pilots, maintenance crews, and other support personnel from the Marine Corps on board, but they are not part of the ship's security detail.
• Amphibious ships: Marines are most notably present on amphibious assault ships, where they embark as part of a Marine Expeditionary Unit (MEU).
