Guest from the Navy

Petty Officer Allen visited our class today. He is thirty-one years old married with two kids and has completed his seventh year with the Navy. Today we learned what exactly the Navy does on a regular basis. The Navy protects Americans from the enemies of the water. From submarines and ships they also can travel by aircraft. He has traveled to many areas such as Japan, Singapore, Thailand, and Malaysia. I also learned about the ONR or the Naval Research Laboratory. This research laboratory coordinates, executes and promotes the science and technology programs of the U.S. they also perform deep sea searches. For instance they helped Bob Ballard find the Titanic. Tsunami prediction is also a growing study of the Navy. Because of the recent natural disasters relief effort programs are increasingly growing thanks to the Navy. I will remember that submarines have zero sight when they are under the ocean. They rely solely on sonar maps and previously drawn maps of the sea floor by people in the Navy who have visited the area already.
