Oh, yeah, and: Whenever I hear "Anchors Aweigh" or a reference to the Navy's Officer Candidate School, I think of an episode of "Mister Rogers' Neighborhood" in which X the Owl wants to build a xylophone so he can play the alma-mater anthem of "Owl Correspondence School", which has the tune of "Anchors Aweigh": "OWL CorresPONdence School, dear OCS"...
I suspect that this was a clever reference to the Navy background of somebody associated with the show, and I wonder if it's responsible for the "Mister Rogers was a Navy sniper in Vietnam" legend.
