 When people think of tattoos, they might picture a famous rock musician or leather-clad biker, but none of them would have tattoos if not for sailors. Tattoos have long been associated with sailors. They're chosen designs reflecting life on the sea. Skin Deep, the nautical roots of tattoo culture, recently opened at Naval History and Heritage Commands Museum in Bremerton. This exciting new exhibit features the naval history of tattooing. Sailors in the area are encouraged to check out this exhibit of our past, but also to remember the guidelines set forth for today's sailors. Check out the Navy Tattoo Policies in Chapter 2 of the U.S. Navy Uniform Regulations. Office of Naval Research Officials announced a new prototype diving helmet. The helmet allows Navy divers more dive time than the short supplies of helium currently permit. The new prototype helmet could revolutionize diving missions. Additionally, smaller vessels for missions will become a new possibility since less gas will be needed for divers. For more news from the Office of Naval Research, visit their website.
