All of the teams put up a good fight, including Mission Unlikely, even though one team member having to borrow shoes from someone in the audience.<\/p>\n<p>In the end, though, the Navy Bravos brought home the gold trophy, with a team member accepting the golden cup while wearing a diving helmet. Silver went to the Devil Dogs and bronze went to the Coasties.<\/p> <div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Those were not the only winners. Competitors had the opportunity to win the GOAT (Greatest of All Time) Award. Eight people were selected for their enthusiasm and skill while playing \u2014 and then they faced each other. After playing their game, the audience selected who would receive the award by cheering the loudest for who they liked.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe want to see some moves,\u201d the announcer said as the sun began to shine over the expo. \u201cWe want to see borrowed shoes. But most of all, we want to see you having fun.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The GOAT competitors showed off with tricks and garnered support by participating with the crowd.<\/p><p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/siliconvalleymovingpost.com\/?p=9144\">World Central Kitchen among the volunteers delivering hot meals to those evacuated because of Garden Grove chemical threat<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is a full exhibition of crazy dodgeball GOATness,\u201d the announcer said during the game.<\/p> <div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Elliot, who had jumped into the Coasties team mid-tournament when they lost some teammates, was named the Goat. Because of Elliot volunteering along with a fellow ensign, the Coasties also won the Spirit Award.<\/p>\n<p>The rest of the Fleet Week festivities, meanwhile, were happening in full force. By midday, thousands of attendees were exploring the grounds, with some touring the main attraction \u2013 the USS Iowa, and the three active Navy and Coat Guard ships available for tour \u2013 and others exploring the expo.<\/p>\n<p>The expo features food trucks, military equipment and informational areas.<\/p>\n<p>Among the vendors was Dry Brew, a caffeinated treat that was created by former U.S. Navy engineer Pablito De La Rosa, who, with his busy schedule working and raising his family, wanted an easier way to consume coffee while driving. So he invented a waterless coffee. While it looks like a small chocolate-like treat, one bite contains an entire cup of coffee.<\/p>\n<p>Former Navy Cmdr. James Giles was a fan.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI spent 26 years in the Navy, including commanding a destroyer,\u201d Giles said. \u201cDuring that time, I consumed enough caffeine, nicotine and terrible decisions to keep several cardiologists financially secure.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He spent years feeling terrible because of what he consumed trying to stay awake while serving in the Navy, Giles said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe military basically runs on sleep deprivation, hate and gas station energy drinks,\u201d he said. \u201cDry Brew is one of the few things I\u2019ve seen that actually feels built for people who work hard without tasting like melted battery acid.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Later in the day, the crowd began to wander to the main stage, where the world-renowned Satin Dollz performed in a style reminiscent of WWII USO Camp Shows. Following the Satin Dollz, the Destroyers, the Navy Band Southwest\u2019s popular musical group, took the stage.<\/p>\n<p>Later in the evening was a screening of the season one finale of the CBS show \u201cMarshals\u201d and a Q&amp;A with series star Ash Santos.<\/p>\n<p>The 2026 Los Angeles Fleet Week will conclude on Monday, May 25, with the primary events slated to be the FIFA Mini-Soccer Tournament, a Memorial Day observance and a closing ceremony.
