who killed the electric coffeepot?

Can anyone hazard an informed guess about how the carbon cost of drinking coffee out of a paper cup every day stacks up against the cost of, say, breaking a ceramic mug once a year?

Purely hypothetically, of course.

A Navy mug?! I am intrigued. Tell me more.

Now now, this is one of those instances where Caps Matter. The difference between "a navy mug" and "a Navy mug" is similar to the difference between "I have to help my uncle Jack off a horse" and "I have to help my uncle jack off a horse."

Step 1: Go talk to that recruiter guy
Step 2: Sign on the dotted line
Step 3: Go through boot camp
Step 4: Go to a ship & get a cool nearly unbreakable mug (your name printed on it = extra$)

You make it sound like a lot less fun.

Alternatively, you can go to ebay, search for Navy Mug USS Chancellorsville and buy one for $8.80 - ceo can tell you if this is the kind he means. If there's a particular ship you'd rather have one from, I can help you track one down.
