An Officer In The Navy
Did you know that Prince Philip was in the Royal Navy? To be specific, he was the first lieutenant aboard the HMS Wallace! Impressively, he helped create a diversion in the middle of the Sicily invasion during an attempt to rescue the ship from a night bomber. He came up with the idea to throw wooden rafts with smoke floats overboard so that they would look like nothing more than burning debris. It was a great plan and the ship managed to sail away to safety when the enemy thought the ship had already been destroyed.
