There is a P2 on static display at the former BNAS ... Brunswick, ME
Commissioned 1973 - Nuclear Submarines 1973 to 1980. US Navy Reserve Engineering Duty Officer starting in 1981. Retired 1994. "It's a great Navy Day" GO NAVY.

I heard it was that the Marines were arguing whether it was the Corps or Corpse and said, "the heck with it, just call it the Navy since that is easier to spell than Marines"
(Just part of the Navy - Marine Corps banter for those of you not familier with it)

And we deliver supplies.
After all, Marines no matter how resourceful still need a can of beer.
