Was stuck on #5 until I finally hit the theme - which also told me I used the wrong spelling on #3)

Excellent puzzle. Just another reason why you and hateman should have all 3 featured puzzles every single night.

I must be tired. I can't even figure out the theme tonight.

Never mind - my brain kicked in. Nice puzzle!

I don't get #9.

[3] Exactly!

great puzzle

agreed [3].
[11] Among other possible origins, it refers to their use of the substance in waterproofing apparently.

Whew - a day late, and still "solved this puzzle in 0 seconds" ;-)

Exactly the same here, [3]. Great puzzle!

[15]ditto!
and what's up with #9?? if yer not in the Navy how would you know, except only by spelling from the theme.

Awesome!

9 makes no sense to me, so if anyone knows, send me a TG.....I solved, but 9???????

[18] there is a synonym for sailors that will fit this puzzle. just remember it is plural. It's a name for a sailor that really isn't used anymore.

[19] well, it's used all the time if you solve crossword puzzles daily!!!!
