Due to United States security concerns it can not be reveled!

Sometimes I wonder if the US is too security conscious. Why is the revelation of the birthplace of the navy a state security issue?

Can't tell you, its classified.

PS: Check WikiLeaks

Very good. OK. You win that one.

Trivia: the first US Submarine (the Turtle) was commanded by an Army Sgt, Ezra Lee.

I have been accused of inventing the Navy in my backyard, when I launched my first rowboat (cause they sometimes refer to me as the Ancient Mariner) [when I am not in hearing range].

It is a base canard (lie) ...

• it was on the bank of the lake where I put my rowboat (with its outboard motor), into the water, where my navy was launched..

I ended up creating a green water Navy .. but .. only in my own mind.

I did end up patrolling the lake for underwater vessels (they were called fish).

BTW - When I retired from the US Navy, I considered walking inland with an oar on my shoulder, and settling in the first city/hamlet where someone asked me what the object on my shoulder was.

Ah well, mice and men guys ... mice and men.
