U.S. Naval Institute @NavalInstitute - Happy World Elephant Day! While serving as CINCPAC in 1971, ADM John S. McCain Jr. was surprised to receive an elephant as a gift from the prime minister of Cambodia. The elephant had been captured from the Viet Cong who had used it to transport military supplies. Because the value of the gift exceeded $50, the "cincpachyderm" became the property (and logistical problem) of the U.S. government. Not wanting to insult Cambodia by declining the gift, the Pentagon formed McCain's Elephant Delivery Team (MEDT) to arrange for the one-ton animal to be flown to the Los Angeles Zoo by a USAF C-141 Starlifter.
