Alot of the equipment still is delivered via Navy. But you make my point: The Army wouldn't know where to go without someone pointing them in the right direction!!

Really? Me thinks not.....

Seems like this angle wasn't in the original thread. What if the carrier was headed due north or south while straddling the international date line and half of the court was on either side of the dateline lengthwise?

Especially when they get cold and try to turn that big fan off on top of the machine!!

I am sure those in the service would render their opinions on that eventuality. But, I think it might not be much different than holding the Army-Navy football game in Flanders Fields.

I have never been to Hawaii period, however since next year is the 60th anniversary of "The Day which shall live in infamy" something special should be done. Especially since we have fewer Pearl Harbor Survivors every year & too many seem to forget about December 7th.
They could do the Army-Navy Basketball Game on the carrier & the Army-Navy Football Game in Honolulu in the same weekend/week. Every battlefield, no matter what war, is a place of solemn reflection, a place of reverence. Perhaps the funds raised from the games could go to upkeep/preservation of Pearl Harbor. Guests of Honor could be Pearl Harbor Survivors &/or their families. A moment of silence can be held in memory of all who lost their lives. Quote:

Ipneck, my father is a 20 year veteran of the Navy, my maternal grandfather was at Hickam Field, Schofield Barracks that morning.
I know what manning the rails means. I mentioned near as a suggestion, not in. Joint Base Pearl Harbor-Hickam has several berths that the carrier to can be tied to which would not be near the Arizona. Quote:
