#51 had to be called out to assist FA FB 224

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 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:

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!
