It’s the Birthday of the U.S. NAVY Let’s see your engines and rolling stock.

That's really neat Bob - I just sold a #51 that I acquired in a large load of old stuff from a friend who moved back to NY recently.
Regretfully I don't believe I have any 'USN' equipment on my RR...   :-(     Perhaps I should rectify that situation considering my Dad was Navy and I was born in the Brooklyn US Navy Hospital a week after 'D- Day'

Here are my USN cars and engines (1)...I also included an Operation Iraqi Freedom tanker although not a Navy car the Navy participated heavily in that operation.

The closest "Navy" car that I have is this K-Line depressed-center flat with an aircraft carrier's screw:

And maybe this All Nation(?) cast bronze depressed-center flat with the drive motor from a battleship's turbine-electric drive:

Happy Birthday Navy.

And a special for all the corpsman!

GO NAVY!

I built this in honor of George H. W. Bush...He flew this plane as a Naval Aviator.

My Uncle was a Seabee in the South Pacific on a floating dry dock.

Not much here but I do have a NLOE Grumman F-14 Tomcat car.

And a bit of a stretch but....My dad was an EE for Sperry-Rand Corp. Sperry had many large Navy contracts and he worked on the Trident and Polaris guidance systems.

And Elmer Sperry also founded Sperry Rail Service so.....The crew on SRS 900 say hi!

George H. W. Bush, trained how to fly this plane in Westerly, Rhode Island, at a specialized small scale US Army Air Base where pilots learned how to drop bombs at night.  The training exercises were over Wordens Pond in Wakefield, RI. 15 miles from their base in Westerly, RI.  Many pilots died crashing their planes in the pond. The pond is actually the largest body of freshwater in RI.  Pres. Bush, one of the few that was successful in accomplishing his training. To this day occasionally a 200 ponder will be found in the pond.
