But then again, the navy is not a private ownership firm, it's not like you get stuck with one boat for the entire lifetime. Someday, they have to let you go, either of age, performance, or even a tragic loss. However in RSRD (movie) I wonder how the navy got Clark Gable a new boat after he lost his at the Bungo Straits... Odd... But maybe he was too good to be retired.
