The US Navy in the the decades of 1910-1950. Really all Navies of the world. Those navies would have seen some of the most famous naval activities in history.
It is said that a Sailor in 1850 had more in common with a sailor of 1450 than they did with a sailor in 1900.
Sailing went from Wind Power, to coal fed steam power to oil powered. All within a 50 year time frame. The advances must have been insane to witness.
In 1910 there would have been good enough naval technology and still so much communication isolation world wide to make sailing very akin to leaving the planet.
