46. Carriers - bah!
They should track life on a gator freighter. Probably have a hard time getting a film crew who wanted to put up with it; the whole ship smelling of diesel, rocking and rolling due to the shallow draft, crowded with 1,000 Marines in addition to the crew, out to sea more than in port.... that's the REAL Navy! :)

(Gator Freighters are amphibious ships that transport Marines and are designed to operate close in to shore to drop them off.)
