I am gonna have to say that i know so little about the navy, i could use some of its history in my head. I am a historian when it comes to marine corps history. But i will have to explore i amsure my oldest would love to learn about it too.

If you are really interested you can research back to the original Republic of Texas Navy. A number of actions took place out of the Copano Bay area between the Mexican Navy and the Texas Navy. The Texas Navy even intercepted and commandered U.S. vessels trading commerce with Mexico during the Texas Revolution. Of course back east that was considered piracy. Of course all that has been overshadowed in history by the gallant stand at the Alamo and the Battle of San Jacinto.
Moving on to more recent times Waldron and Cabiness fields are named after heroes of the Battle of Midway. The "Lady Lex", my old ship is permanently docked in CC Bay.

def will look it up cuz its like i always say, i am mor texan than american...that is just me!
