The Great White Fleet -- which I remember reading about some time ago and hearing a former seaman say that it was ridiculous how often they had to keep repainting the ships to keep them white. As anyone's mother will tell you -- white stains, and ships at sea, especially ships with very dirty smokestacks -- didn't stay clean very well. So they're on this diplomatic thing going around the world, painting and painting and painting...
This is the Battleship USS Kentucky:
Big Paul Costellano
And new Don John Gotti, the "Teflon Don" for his sharp suits and slippery ability to avoid going to prison, though eventually the feds got him.
