Not to mention the several state run Maritime Academies and various training schools for different aspects of the industry. Why, there are even some hawsepipers left who worked their way up from unlicensed positions to engine or deck licenses!!

Watching all the news lately I never see them praise the merchant marines for the job there doing in reponse to all these storms.

Have good day everyone
