Merchant Marine

The commercial ships of a nation and the men and women who man them, both as licensed officers and unlicensed crew. While Navy ships act to defend a nation on the sea, Merchant ships deliver cargo worldwide and are manned by civilians. U.S. Merchant Mariners are the highest paid in the world.

Consists of Freighters, Tankers, RoRo's, Tugboats, Barges, and Ferries

Ships are split into three departments in which personnel work: Deck (navigation, cargo operations, external maintenance), Engineering (propulsion, electrical, and any machinery), and Stewards (cooks).

Marina

The most loving human on the planet. If she comes on as rude or closed off, its because she'll never make the first move. But once she feels comfortable, she'll give you her entire heart. She is indescribable. Her beautiful, seductive eyes, long wavy hair, and fair skin will make you fall in love from across the room. If you're in love with Marina, which you definitely are, go get her. If you love her, she'll make sure to love you more.
I love Marina more than I could imagine.

Marinite

Native of a secluded area on the mellow side of a famous bridge. Lives on a houseboat in Sausalito, or in a cliff-clinging edifice screened from view by steam from the hot tub. Preferred transportation is sailboat, bicycle, BMW or jogging shoe. Enjoys days on the bay, natural food, Ramos Fizz brunches, good neighbors and sunsets over Mt. Tam. Wants it all now, but will settle for a reasonable amount & monthly payments. Has endured floods, peacock feathers and mudslides on the Waldo, but would never live anywhere else.
Having lived anywhere else, a real marinite will always come home.

Marina and the Diamonds

Marina Lambrini Diamandis, born in 1985, is a British alternative/indie pop sensation. Known from 2010 on for her hit song "I Am Not A Robot" and her conceptual album "Electra Heart," Marina is beautiful, flawless, and basically a goddess, however she gets screwed over all of the time by her shitty record label 679 Records.

Marina and the Diamonds's name comes from, well, her first name, and her last name. 'Diamandis' means 'diamonds' in Greek, but she named herself Marina and the Diamonds to represent not only herself but also her fanbase. Therefore, I am a Diamond.
"Have you heard that Marina and the Diamonds was releasing her new album this fall?"
"Yeah but she probably won't because 679 can't do jack fucking shit"
