Dad adds that this was a time when there was considerable unit pride within
individual ships. More positive expressions of this pride were found in
athletic activities like softball leagues, boxing "smokers," liberty boat
races (these had oars back then) and the like. It was quite an honor, for
example, to be the Pacific Fleet boxing champion in one's weight class.

You'll pardon me for saying that I wonder how we could get that back,
including in the Army and other services.

Thoughts, all? How WOULD one work on unit pride/unit
identification/unit cohesion in the modern environment?
