David, an academy story your daughter may appreciate. A local guy who graduated, Kyler Whittaker. He was on the USN team that made it to the final four, David Robinson the star. So, the tale as told me by Kyler's dad. His fist assignment was on an oiler. Word came from the carrier that the Admiral wanted Kyler to join him for lunch. Kyler, knees shaking, wondered why the Admiral wanted to see him?

Turns out there was a Navy/Marines basketball game scheduled on the Carrier's deck.

Yep, Navy won.
