Warships have an arms locker where they carry guns.
Sometimes they are needed for internal security.
Some sailor gets drunk or goes mad and has to be taken down because he is endangering the ship.
That's very rare.
Sometimes to repel boarders. That's rare, but it does happen, actually it's attempted, but does not happen much.
Mostly they are needed if they have to put men ashore.
Scout a landing beach.
Check out the harbor.
Conduct sabotage.
Or safeguard the lives of American or Allied civilians.

Great post, as a lifelong nautical enthusiast, and a short term coastie, armed sailors is one of my favorite toy soldier themes. It's why (not coincidentally) I just bought a bunch of the armies in plastic royal navy figs.

Very cool.
I can only GUESS at how much ORIGINAL G.I. Joe figures and guar you have..
(knowing you...gotta be a LOT).
Carry on.
CounterFett I was in the Army Reserve, but lived in a Naval town growing up, Long Bach, CA used to have a huge number of sailors and large Navy base so I have a special fondness for them.
