Steve, the algonquin was still on the East coast when I got out of the Navy, so we never had any of that rebelious east coast influence...
Once though on Armed forces day, we had all our families on the ship and we went out for a cruise. Some yahoo's wife brought one of those pocket dogs on the ship and when we went to do a drill the dog got scared from the alarm, jumped out of her coat, hit the deck.. then a few seconds later went splash... We actually did a man overboard to get the dog... The XO went over the mic, Dog overboard Dog overboard port side, ships diver and boat crews to stations... lol
I was on the Yukon and before that the Columbia, both of which are now artificial reefs. I've been able to dive on both while teaching advanced deep diving courses and I did a penetration while on a technical course through International Nitrox and Technical Divers, it was very strange moving down burma flats...
