00:06The End
00:35Down through history, Navy men have worn a variety of colorful uniforms.
00:43But today, the sailor's uniform, like his ship, has been scientifically streamlined.
00:48The blouse, uh, jumper, is tailored of 18-ounce bat-dyed navy blue melton cloth.
00:54The cuffs and collar are of the same material.
00:56Uh, ahem. The cuffs and collar are...
01:00Oh, well, perhaps we better go aboard ship and have a look around.
01:06Well, here's Seaman Tarfu. He'll help us with our little, uh, demonstration.
01:11Oh, yes. The jumper.
01:13The navy man carries very little on his person.
01:16Therefore, the jumper has only the one small pocket, which, however, is adequate for all his personal effects.
01:25Hmm. The less said about a sailor's pants, the better.
01:30The jumper, although snug-fitting, was designed to be easily removed.
01:34Grasping the lower seam between the thumb and forefinger of each hand,
01:37and exerting a gentle upward pull,
01:40before our sailor boy can say,
01:42Heave-ho, the mizzenmast.
01:43Uh, heave-ho, the mizzenmast.
01:47Heave-ho, the mizzenmast.
01:52There. It's off in a jiffy.
01:59Man your battle stations. Man your battle stations.
02:05Navy craft are always kept immaculately clean.
02:29And whatever natural hazards may be encountered are always handled with true navy efficiency.
02:42Of all navy traditions and ceremonies,
02:45the most colorful is that of piping the admiral aboard.
03:00Another navy tradition is that of growing a beard on long cruises.
03:04But it must conform to regulations.
03:07Hmm.
03:08The regulation clearly states the hair, beard, and mustache must be worn neatly trimmed.
03:13The hair, beard, and mustache must be worn neatly trimmed.
03:17Nyah, nyah, nyah.
03:21And what is a sailor without a tattoo?
03:44A day's super-dreadnought boasts a completely equipped meteorite,
03:48meteorite, meteorite, uh, weather forecasting laboratory.
03:51Hmm. Wonder what the weather's gonna be tomorrow.
03:55Uh, uh, uh, uh, looks like a storm to me.
04:00Seriously, however, navy equipment is the finest obtainable.
04:03And though a sailor must still take his turn at standing watch in the crow's nest,
04:07he has at hand the most powerful binoculars in the world,
04:11enabling him to see through solid banks of fog, mist, and rain, even beyond the horizon.
04:22Fresh.
04:28In conclusion, of course, no picture about our navy would be complete without some appraisal
04:34of the American sailor as a fighting man.
04:37Let's hear from a recognized authority on this subject.
04:54What'd you expect, sailor?
04:55The army made this picture.
04:57The army made this picture.
05:03The army made this picture.
05:09You
