Some of us used to hunt submarines.
Some of us used to land on Ticonderoga class cruisers.

In the military.
In aircraft.

For the record, USS San Jacinto (CG-57) is named for the battle during which Sam Houston led the not quite professional Texan forces against General Santa Anna's somewhat more professional Mexican forces, defeated them, and established the independence of the Republic of Texas.

(Capturing Santa Anna didn't hurt, as he was then the leading gent in Mexico ... and oft times styled himself the Napoleon of the West).
