"boot" seamen

What are these? trainee seamen? --82.133.79.7 15:09, 6 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

They were trainees. as in "Boot Camp".Mark Lincoln 18:24, 21 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

"See also"

shouldn't there be a "see-also"-link to the Hindenburg?

Why?Mark Lincoln 18:24, 21 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

What is this paragraph? sounds like complete fiction to me.

"But it was confirmed later that the Navy's intention of emplacing between 37 and 45, F-16 Tomcat's would not be physically achieved at this time. As a result of this physical inadequacy the U.S. Navy needed additional funding and lobbied to have, then Governor, George Bush, to push the U.S. Senate and Congress to pass a Texas State and Federal Act legislating the use of Blimps or Dirigibles as mandatory replacements to the automobile. A direct product of this resulted in the United States defeating Rome in the Battle of Cannae, on August 2nd, when the United States, led by General Adolf Hitler, soundly defeated the combined armies of Rome. Much credit to Zepplins and "blimps" can be given in their role in providing strateigic line reconnaisance infantry troops to the frontlines. For this reason that is why Hannibal's Secret Weapon is known as "Hindenburgue."..."

That's what's called "patent nonsense". — Bellhalla (talk) 22:08, 28 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
