1945 Fleet City Bluejackets football team

The 1945 Fleet City Bluejackets football team represented the United States Navy distribution center at Camp Shoemaker, near Dublin, California, during the 1945 college football season. Led by first-year head coach, Lt. Cmdr. William Reinhart, the Flying Marines compiled an 11–0–1 record.

Reinhart's coaching staff included four Navy lieutenants: Jim Barber, who had played professionally with the Washington Redskins of the National Football League (NFL); Tex Orr, who had played at Southern Methodist University (SMU); Wally Cruice, who had played at Northwestern University; and Jack Malevich, who was head coach of the 1944 Fleet City team. The Fleet City roster included Buddy Young, Paul Christman, Harry Hopp, Cliff Lewis, Steve Juzwik, Bill Daddio, Edgar Jones, Bruiser Kinard, Charlie O'Rourke, Al Vandeweghe, Doyle Tackett, and Curt Sandig.

Fleet City was ranked fourth among the nation's college and service teams in the final Litkenhous Ratings, behind Army, Navy, and Alabama. In late November, Reinhart reported that the Los Angeles War bond committee had contacted him about matching his Fleet City team against the undefeated Army team on December 26 at Los Angeles Coliseum.
