187th Infantry Regiment (United States) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The nickname "Rakkasans" is derived from the Japanese word for umbrella. The name was given to the 187th during its tour in occupied Japan following World War II. When a translator dealing with local Japanese dignitaries was trying to explain what their unit was trained to do (and not knowing the Japanese word for "airborne soldiers") he used the phrase "falling down umbrella men", or rakkasan. Amused by the clumsy word, the locals began to call the troopers by that nickname; it soon stuck and became a point of pride for the unit.

As of 2012, the 1st Battalion – 187th Infantry, the 3rd Battalion – 187th Infantry and 1st Squadron 33rd Cavalry are active in the 101st Airborne's 3rd Brigade Combat Team.

i can distinguish the carrier and a sole warship(probably a Ticonderoga cruiser) but there is no other surface ship, just a sub.
