			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Despite the implication that nobody in the Navy brass has a sense of humor, there are lots of of fun videos floating around the &#8216;net made on US Navy ships that suggest otherwise.    My personal favorites all tend to be lip-sincing to popular songs.   Here are a few that didn&#8217;t get the captain fired.  Click on the link or the thumbnail to see the videos.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lsnlO-hpc_8" target="_blank"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-15801" style="margin-left: 10px; margin-right: 10px;" title="wrr" src="http://www.oldsaltblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/wrr.jpg" alt="" width="120" height="90" /></a><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lsnlO-hpc_8" target="_blank">Women of USS RONALD REAGAN (CVN 76)</a> &#8211; 99,954 views.   This video is interesting because it includes the ship&#8217;s commanding officer, Capt. Terry Kraft.  The Navy initially pulled the video  &#8221;for a &#8216;lack of propriety&#8217; in a few scenes involving the use of safety equipment.&#8221;    Captain Kraft&#8217;s career was not harmed by the video. He  is now a rear admiral in command, coincidentally enough, of the <em>Enterprise</em> Carrier Strike Group.<br />

<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uf7AkSdJcD4" target="_blank"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-15802" style="margin-left: 10px; margin-right: 10px;" title="imonaboat" src="http://www.oldsaltblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/imonaboat.jpg" alt="" width="120" height="90" /></a><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uf7AkSdJcD4" target="_blank">I&#8217;m on a Boat</a> &#8211; 734,147 views.  I thought the SNL Lonely Island - T Pain version was pretty lame but the Navy version struck me as very funny.  Maybe I am just easily amused.  Based on the explicit version of the song. Don&#8217;t click the link if you are bothered by the meaningless repetition of  foul language.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DqaWdkdFb3Y&amp;feature=related" target="_blank"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-15803" style="margin-left: 10px; margin-right: 10px;" title="pumpit" src="http://www.oldsaltblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/pumpit.jpg" alt="" width="120" height="90" /></a><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DqaWdkdFb3Y&amp;feature=related" target="_blank">Navy Carrier Squadron &#8220;Pump It&#8221;</a> &#8211; 3,468,914 views.   A popular video by the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VAW-116" target="_blank"> &#8220;Sun Kings&#8221; of VAW-116</a>, a Navy Command and Control Squadron that deploys aboard <a title="USS Abraham Lincoln (CVN-72)" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USS_Abraham_Lincoln_(CVN-72)">USS <em>Abraham Lincoln</em></a>.   They have three other videos on Youtube as well.  In total their videos have gotten over 6 million views on Youtube.  You can check out their <a href="http://www.youtube.com/user/PumpIt01#p/u" target="_blank">Youtube channel here</a>.   Rock on Sun Kings!   Not to leave anyone out, one of the<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=deYOGf1gnqk&amp;feature=related" target="_blank"> videos </a>also  features the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VAW-113" target="_blank">VAW-113 &#8220;Black Eagles.&#8221;</a></p>
<p><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-15804" style="margin-left: 10px; margin-right: 10px;" title="numanuma" src="http://www.oldsaltblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/numanuma.jpg" alt="" width="120" height="90" /><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=puVmKfCwb4M" target="_blank">Navy Numa Numa</a> &#8211; 2,260,750 views.   The infamous Numa Numa song sung aboard the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USS_Enterprise_(CVN-65)" target="_blank">USS <em>Enterprise</em></a>.  Weird and infectiously funny.</p>
<p>And honorable mention goes to:</p>
<p><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-15806" style="margin-left: 10px; margin-right: 10px;" title="telephone" src="http://www.oldsaltblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/telephone.jpg" alt="" width="120" height="90" /><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qldShKW8b6k&amp;feature=fvst" target="_blank"> Telephone</a> &#8211; 6,121,776 views. Not the Navy but still fun. Some guys deployed in Afghanistan. (Gotta love the costumes at about 1:40.)</p>
