U.S. Navy clipart
This stuff came about because I needed various U.S. Navy insignia and pins for the Official Seal Generator. I couldn't find good quality scans or vector versions anywhere on the web, except as part of clipart collections costing hundreds of bucks. So I said to myself, eff that, and I got a copy of the Bluejacket's Manual and traced them all out myself. It's all public domain, so no copyright issues obtain, and I'm releasing these vector files into the public domain as well. I hope you get some use out of them. All files are vector files, so they're scalable. They're all in compressed Scalable Vector Graphics (SVGZ) format. Adobe Illustrator and Inkscape can open them just fine, so you shouldn't have any trouble using them. You can download the entire collection in one archive (338KB zip file), or as individual files below. Carrier lettering This is just the lettering found on the sides of Navy ships; I may make this into a font some day, but for right now you'll just have to copy and paste letters. 
CPO pins 
Enlisted Ratings Insignia To find out what these ratings mean, check out Wikipedia's page on U.S. Navy ratings. Some of these ratings have recently been disestablished, but I included them anyway for historical purposes.
Misc. symbols These are just components that appeared in more than one enlisted rating insignia, or were enough trouble to draw that I felt like saving them, so here they are.

Scientists shocked to find their names on cliimate-change deniers list
"Dozens of scientists are demanding that their names be removed from a widely distributed Heartland Institute article entitled '500 Scientists with Documented Doubts of Man-Made Global Warming Scares.' ... DeSmogBlog manager Kevin Grandia emailed 122 of the scientists yesterday afternoon, calling their attention to the list. So far - in less than 24 hours - three dozen of those scientists had responded in outrage, denying that their research supports Avery's conclusions and demanding that their names be removed."
Gin, Television, and Social Surplus
"She heard this story and she shook her head and said, 'Where do people find the time?' That was her question. And I just kind of snapped. And I said, 'No one who works in TV gets to ask that question. You know where the time comes from. It comes from the cognitive surplus you've been masking for 50 years.'"
