Gawd, kid isn't even signed up yet, and you're already feeding him BS about Great Mistakes!

May as well tell him to take along 20 feet of chow line, some relative bearing grease, and the hook for the mail buoy when he reports to his first boat.

And yes, when you're talking about submarines, we call them "boats".

Never set foot on a carrier, but I've seen plenty of pictures of them - with a set of periscope crosshairs framing the "target".
