Oh, hah, yes--I used to work with NAVSEA and I'm sure the lights have been burning late in Crystal City and the boomers are all moving into position in the South China Sea...
The Shakespeare Swordfight Ranking Index is courtesy of my youngest, who is An Actor. (And both his dad & I have cousins who semi-support themselves in the craft, so we're just waiting for this one to head that way, too.) He just auditioned for a Zorro adaptation and also read for A Midsummer's Night's Dream, but the Index came about after we went to see R&J, including a spirited swordfight. Luckily, he's already signed up for a summer workshop in stagefighting. (And my actor cousin is a fight choreographer and he's been giving me the run-down on what to look for, too--we already have too cordial of a relationship with the pediatric orthopedist, courtesy of the baseball/soccer/karate extracurriculars. Never a dull moment, that's my byline.)
