I love this ad. Both the message and execution. Most military ads are pretty hokey. They play too much on over-sentimentality and simplistic patriotism.

(I supposed it’s hard to be subtle when you’ve got 60 seconds to get your message across.) But the simple numbers shown in the ad demonstrate how important global trade is. And the sea is where it happens. I wonder, if we didn’t have the preeminent navy of the world, how would our economy be different?
