Who Named Boat Forces: Boat Forces?
Boat Forces once ran on heart and hustle...but lacked harmony. Then came Captain Dana Goward, a leader who didn’t just tweak the system, he rewired it. In this episode, we unpack how he turned scattered practices into a unified identity, applying aviation discipline to maritime grit. Recognition programs got teeth. Culture got a voice. Boat Forces became more than a label; it became a legacy. We talk about friction, transformation, and the enduring ideas he left behind. For anyone serving today, this is the origin story of the structure you now stand on, and the rhythm that still guides it.
