"We must be ready to dare all for our country. For history does not long entrust the care of freedom to the weak or the timid. We must acquire proficiency in defense and display stamina in purpose." - President Eisenhower, First Inaugural Address

Friday Fun Film: Navy Day (1946)
How many modern weapons have been developed from what you see in this short clip honoring Navy Day!
Officers of tomorrow's navy trained, new radar-controlled glider bomb shown for first time, air-dropped sonar buoy with sub animation, transmitted to destroyer for depth charges (partial newsreel).
I did not know that the Navy was still messing around with Loons as late as 1952!
