What do Pirates, Comic Books, and the US Navy have in common?

Ok, so they're graphic novels, not comic books. But, ladies and gentlemen, in a recruiting push, the US Navy has released a graphic novel--in "an ambitious attempt by the school established in 1845 to attract minority students and other applicants"--which features a nighttime encounter at the tomb of John Paul Jones and a run-in with a pirate ship.

Apparently, it's not the first graphic novel the Navy has released. The WTOP.com RSS feed broke the story to me HERE, and if they post it online I'll be sure to come back and add the link.
