As I recall it, the Navy had contracted with the Village People ... I don't recall whether it was for a U.S.O. tour or for recruitment efforts.
"In The Navy," was popular at that time. Then someone explained to the brass, what the song might be about. They cancelled the Village People.

Bob Hope announced that if they weren't going, he wasn't going.

Bo Hope defeated the U.S. Navy.

Great photos.. Thanks for all the effort you put in.
