I commanded two. A worthy and fulfilling endeavor, my best jobs ever.

Is the correct term "Captain'd"? I'm not sure. I'm just a staff guy now.

"Captain" is the title of a ship's commanding officer no matter his/her rank. "Commanded", "had command of", or "had shipname" is usually the past tense depending on those in the conversation and their familiarity with the Navy.

Thank you for your service.

So by stating "had shipname" you're stating you commanded a ship in the past? That's such an odd phrase.

I love America!

This stang is very patriotic.

God bless this great country, our families and our Mustangs. I know it’s a little scary right now, but better days are ahead. Stay safe, stay healthy and be well. Happy 4th.

It is odd, but it is an abbreviated phrase usually among senior Navy to indicate background, usually to establish credibility for the speaker's point(s)..."I had PHILIPPINE SEA". Note that as Commanding Officer, one has actually signed for the ship (with the government) and is wholly responsible for the ship, all aboard, and any actions/activities thereof...so the CO actually does "have" the ship. Happy 4th!

But can you ski behind it?
I almost bought an aircraft carrier once, I backed out when the guy could not produce a title.
It's Independence Day.
Thank a veteran

A nation united, not divided, is always superior.
Thank you to all my other patriots on this website.

If only my 90 were red instead of green, I'd be able to share a pic of my red, white and blue Mustangs.

I’m holding out for Space Force (aka Starfleet.)
Sorry I was not able to direct the annual patriotic concerts today or on Memorial Day this year.

Close enough do it anyway
