Default If you joined the navy what would you do?

Or what would you serve on to be exact?

Please vote and state why you feel this is the right choice for you.

Carriers, simply because I have a love for aviation. And even though I'd be in the navy, aviation would still be a way of life.

Due to some physical maladies, I cannot join any military. So, there.

I did join the navy, and I did ask for a destroyer, so I couldn't vote any differently. I think I was lucky--due to the time and place (San Diego, 1970) I served on one that was actually built during the war.
