I would like to thank you and your son both for your service to our country. I am truly grateful. With both your experiences it does put you in a unique position for certain internet relationships.
I suggest a non-profit web-based organization. You would be able to draw a salary and of course cover expenses as well. The idea I have for you is as special as your service was to our country.
Locally here in Michigan a man I work with his grand-son's school were going to visit a disabled veterans facility. He was telling me how it was going to be good for the children to see what are really the flesh and bone aspects of war. I told him - those veterans need things in those homes. Things we all take for granted - books, cards, writing paper, etc. I told him how our Boy Scout troop each year gets shoe boxes and fills them with little bottles of shampoo, Christmas cards, books, etc. and send them to the local veterans hospital and have been doing this since before the war on Terror began. So he told his grand-son and his grand-son asked his teacher if they could do something like that. And they took two van loads of "stuff" to that veterans home.
What you could do is set up blogs for the Navy ships (start with your son's) for the families at home - a place for the Naval members to go to list things they may need for their families while they are away from home. Then you could solicit local businesses in the area of those particular families at home for whatever that family may need (from plumbing help, to dental assistance, grass cutting, etc.). You could get affiliate ads and such on your web-blog and receive income for expenses through that. I am sure there would be many that would want to advertise on such a web-site - even though it would be a non-profit web site. Local radio stations would most likely love to partner with you to help local soldiers families as well - to raise funds or material assistances.
After you finish setting up your son's ship pick another one and do the same and so on and so on. Start little get the system perfected and then duplicate for the whole fleet.
Hoo-yah! I hope this helps, God Bless, Ed R.
