Its the Navy way!

Just as a side note - has anyone actually ever *seen* a GO that is not a 
GO-9? They probably were never made in huge quantities, but still, one 
would think that an example or two would have survived, even as a hacked 
up junker. Early GPs (and parts) pop up - GP-1, GP-3, GP-4, GP-5 - all 
made in the same period as the GO.
