The “Purple Parrots” from the 86th Medical Squadron at Landstuhl race their homemade “battleship” at the Ramstein Aquatic Center May 19. Teams of Airmen assigned to various squadrons designed and built “battleships” out of cardboard and duct tape, which they used to compete for aquatic superiority.

Battleships that survived the speed race went on to compete in the next event, where teams attempted to keep their vessel afloat while sinking the opposing team’s ship. The 86th Force Support Squadron Ramstein Aquatic Center hosts Battle of the Battleships annually to foster morale in the Kaiserslautern Military Community.
