I fucking love YouTube. In the comments are actual ppl who served on the https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/USS_Reasoner

"the Village group arrived at Naval Base San Diego where the Navy provided them with access to film on the deck of the berthed frigate USS Reasoner; in the end, the Navy did not use the video, choosing to remain with the traditional "Anchors Aweigh" (Wiki)

Then you have Cher using the then in active service USS Missouri for the turn back time music video and the navy hated it so much they don’t do that anymore.

It gets gayer the more I look at it. It’s amazing.

Tom of Finland would’ve told these fellers that they were laying it on a little thick

timchenallen.bsky.social•46 days ago

You’re right. Look what he’s doing with his right hand

This is just the tip (entendre intended) of the treasure trove of old Navy recruiting posters.

Great thread!

Folks, click through and view them all in their glory. Especially that last one. Ride 'em, cowboy!

If that's not in the Library of Congress then what's the point

Where do I sign

anniemouse.bsky.social•46 days ago

🤣

anniemouse.bsky.social•46 days ago

Long, hard, and full of seamen.

Submarines were a lot cheaper back then.

Nice work Salvatore Romano

This was what my grandpa volunteered for in WWII and now I have questions

shaenon.bsky.social•46 days ago

The thing is he was never deployed, he just kept signing up for more submarine training

emeraldhyacinth.bsky.social•45 days ago

My grandpa also volunteered for this and ended up as one of the instructors, presumably teaching the people who were enticed in by this poster, and now I also have questions

Forget about the six million dollar man. I’m interested in the seven million dollar sub.

Oh c'mon, this twink seaman is literally jacking rods, and I think he winked at me...no homo

goobermunch.bsky.social•46 days ago

40 seamen go down, 20 couples come up.

notiapetus.bsky.social•46 days ago

I asked some submariners I know what they thought of that, and the response I got was "nah, more like 19 couples and 2 guys with commitment issues."

You can join your fellow man.

saltlick.bsky.social•46 days ago

So good. It also rules more trippingly off the tongue than the current price of that sub at that rate ($125m).

In the navy
Yes, you can sail the seven seas
In the navy
Yes, you can put your mind at ease
In the navy
Come on now, people, make a stand
In the navy, in the navy
