[QUOTE]Originally posted by Sol System: [QB] Actually, that isn't true, Frank. Historically, navies have often been handed missions of a purely exploratory nature. Charles Darwin was aboard the HMS Beagle, after all, not the SS Beagle. I'd say it's partially because we've explored most of the ocean that we lock our modern navy into a combat role. And even today, a great deal of oceanographic research is conducted by naval vessels, both as a spinoff from military applications (mapping the ocean floor to provide for better submarine navigation) and as the result of specific scientific investigations.
