CORONADO, Calif. - The aircraft carrier that buried Osama bin Laden at sea is ready for the first college basketball game to be played on an active flat top. As long as the rain stays away from the Carrier Classic on the flight deck of the USS Carl Vinson on Friday afternoon, coaches Tom Izzo of Michigan State and Roy Williams of No. 1 North Carolina are confident their teams will put on a great Veterans Day show for the approximately 7,000 in the crowd, including the nation's basketball- fan-in-chief, President Barack Obama, plus a national TV audience.

Seafaring spectacles enjoyed an imposing resurgence in 2003 with the release of "Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl" and "Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World." The top-heavy titles seemed a liability, but the movies established a new gold standard in pictorial dynamism and craftsmanship for maritime swashbucklers. They remain state of the art in their specialty. Pirates" was the first successful attempt in two generations to revitalize a beloved tradition of comic buccaneering exemplified by Douglas Fairbanks in "The Black Pirate" and Burt Lancaster in "The Crimson Pirate."
