The business about The Broomstick Navy MAY have originated with the Navy, the entirety being as follows. Supposedly the coast guard left land without said broomstick. When thet could no longer touch bottom with it, they headed back toward shore. Obviously, this is NOT the case, but might have been reflctive of "inter-service rivalry", about which much has been heard at one time or another.
