In this edition, we look back at the U.S. Navy's long history with sharks--from curious cases of shark  attacks documented by Navy physicians to the development of "full-proof" repellents.  We follow this with an assortment of original stories and sidebars ranging from a look back on the life of a long-living World War II Prisoner of War and the service of Navy flight nurses in the Pacific and in Brazil to the recollection of  Surgeon General Edward Stitt's "Budget Battles" and a glimpse at the Navy Medical Department in 1963.
