I've heard that in the U.S. Navy since WW2, surface-ship sailors, submariners, naval flyers, and marines have always prepared to go to war against up to three enemies at the same time.
(Those enemies being U.S. marines, naval flyers, submariners, and/or surface-ship sailors).

HMS Ramillies was a Royal Sovereign-class battleship of the Royal Navy commissioned into service in 1893.
She became increasingly obsolescent as the all-big-gun concept emerged in the early 1900s. Placed in reserve and eventually paid off, being sold for breaking up in 1913, just as HMS Dreadnought had rendered her entire generation of battleships obsolete. #Navy #battleship #HMSRamillies #maritimehistory #naval #NavalHistory #Predreadnought #RoyalNavy #Ship #warship https://www.destinationsjourney.com/historical-military-photographs/warships-of-the-british-royal-navy/hms-ramillies-1892-battleship/

#TIL that the Royal Navy started employing female nurses for land-based service in naval hospitals during the 1880s. They weren't commissioned, but were treated as equivalent to junior officers: they had private "cabins" (rooms), were addressed as "Madam", included beside officers in the published Navy List from 1885 onwards, and male Sick Bay Attendants had to follow their "requests" the same as orders from the surgeon.
They were not allowed to treat "afflictions of the middle third of the body" (sexually-transmitted diseases) in the male sailors, and didn't actually go to sea until 1898.

Interesting podcast about the history of cats on ships. The section from about 52 mins to the end talks about Simon, the only cat to have been awarded the animal equivalent to the Victoria Cross.
