Navy Second Fleet Hoodies

Description: The United States Second Fleet was a numbered fleet in the United States Navy from 1950 until its disestablishment in September 2011. Second Fleet's area of responsibility included approximately 6,700,000 square miles (17,000,000 km2) of the Atlantic Ocean from the North Pole to the Caribbean and from the shores of the United States to the middle of the Atlantic Ocean. Second Fleets West Coast counterpart was United States First Fleet. Prior to disestablishment, Second Fleet oversaw approximately 126 ships, 4500 aircraft, and 90,000 personnel homeported at U.S. Navy installations along the East Coast.

Description: Stringbag Salute, the Royal Navy aircrew salute on a flypast at RNAS Yeovilton with the White Ensign flying proudly. The Fairey Swordfish was given the nickname Stringbag, not because of its biplane struts, spars and braces, but because of the seemingly endless variety of equipment that the aircraft was cleared to carry. Like a shopping bag, it could carry anything!
