It's #NationalHotDogDay! When USS Thomas S. Gates and USS Kauffman became the first U.S. ships to visit Sevastopol in 1989, they treated the Soviets to hot dogs and Pepsi. Pepsi was so popular with Soviets that the USSR once traded 17 surplus submarines to pay for their supply.

Wickes and Clemson-class destroyers on "Red Lead Row" in San Diego in 1923. Many of these "four-pipers" would be transferred to the Royal Navy as part of the destroyers-for-bases deal made between the U.S. and U.K. in 1940. None of these ships exist today. #WarshipWednesday
