     We were more interested in swimming than hiking.  One can't hike very far   
   on a ship, but if something happened one would need to know how to swim, or   
   at least tread water.  :)   
     Of course we had life boats and all but there might come the time we had   
   to jump into the water.  :)

     All ships come under the Navy.  Other than the Coast Guard, which is   
   under the Treasury Dept.   Except in war time.  I think the last time that   
   happened was in WWII.   
     Generally the Coast Guard doesn't stray too far from shore.  :)   
     They look out for smugglers, small craft accidents, etc.   
      
   > Does USAF handle the carriers themselves, or is that Navy?   
      
     I should say not!  :)   
     Carrier fliers are all Navy people.   
     We have an agreement with the Air Force.  We don't fly our carriers in   
   the air and they don't steer our boats.  :)

     Agree.

      Agree.
