The United States Navy is a powerhouse. The fleet consists of roughly 430 ships in active service or reserve. The vessels run the gamut from the massive Nimitz-class aircraft carrier, which stretches more than 1,000 feet, to the Los Angeles-class submarine that slithers 900 feet below the ocean surface.he fleet consists of roughly 430 ships in active service or reserve.

Community Q&A. Believe it or not, a goldfish could live for 10-25 years or longer if it's given proper care. However, with normal care it usually lives for about 6 years. The Guinness Book of World Records cites a goldfish named Tish that lived 43 years after being won at a fair in England in 1956!
A goldfish can survive for a short time in an unfiltered small bowl or in a tank with poor water quality, but if he lives in unfit water for very long, his life will be shortened considerably. Healthy goldfish live on average 15 to 20 years, while those kept in unhealthy conditions, even well-cared-for otherwise, live an average two to three years. A filter is necessary to maintain the type of water quality a goldfish needs to live a long and healthy life. Using a filter doesn't mean you can't keep your goldfish in a bowl -- as long as it's a large one. Filters are available for traditional tanks, decorative containers and goldfish bowls.
