What did you do to mark Victory Day this year? Well, some members of the US Navy and the Russian naval force got together for a friendly sandwhich competition. According to the BBC, sailors from the USS Stetham, which is visiting the Russian port of Vladivostok, battled their Russian colleagues in a tasty challenge.

Turns out a Russian won for best tasting sandwhich, while an American won for most creative presentation. More importantly, everyone got a welcome party with traditional Russian food and vodka. The American winner got a bottle of vodka and handed out USS Stetham hats and sweatshirts.

U.S. Navy hosts world's largest pizza party

The U.S. Navy recently threw the world's largest pizza party ever to celebrate the completion of the construction of the USNS Lewis and Clark. A total of 13,500 Papa John's pepperoni pizzas were delivered to 6,000 workers at the shipyard in San Diego. The previous Guinness record for pizza delivery was a mere 13,386 pies.

The enormous takeout order required enlisting the ovens of all Papa John's San Diego restaurants and used over one ton of cheese. What I'd like to know is how many 55-gallon drums of garlic powder and crushed red pepper they needed.
