- Created in 1942, this wonderful propaganda and recruiting film explains that "men make the Navy and the Navy makes men" and features Lowell Thomas narrating. Probably made before Pearl Harbor or adapted shortly after the Japanese attack on December 7th, the film features a brief segment at the end identifying Adolph Hitler and Japan as American adversaries. Some of the material includes: fleet maneuvers involving battleships, cruisers, destroyers and aircraft carriers, PT boats including PT-9, the destroyer USS Phelps (DD-360) launching a torpedo at sea, the U.S. Naval Academy at Annapolis, Maryland and the Navy base at Groton, Connecticut, basic training, sailors drilling and exercising at sea. Aircraft include SNJs and Douglas TBD-1 Devastator torpedo planes.

My father was on the USS Phelps...in the Lexington Battle group...
Both of my great grand uncles were in the Navy in WWII
Interesting to see how the different military branches sold the reasons to choose them to the various potential recruits.
The announcer was correct. They are now remembered as the greatest generation!
Men is the operative word. I’m all for Women joining the military but NEVER in a fighting role.
If I was ever going to join a branch of the military, it would be the Navy.
Exactly!!! MEN Make the Navy!!!...Not Women.
Wow how times have changed. Now “men” are dressed as women and leading men. What a proud nation we are!
Enlist now and learn how to peel potatoes and scrub decks and be a surf to officers.
