The Body Is Roughly Seventy Percent Water Appetizer:
Watercraftiness

Name a pretty large body of water and name a craft you might see on a smaller body of water, both in two words. 
Their names share the same first words, both modifiers, and their second words are nouns that are anagrams of one another. 
What are these names?

Slam-Dunking On Ceremony Appetizer:
Saint Paul sports... basketball? 

Name a two-syllable noun rooted in Hebrew scriptures (Old Testament) with a specific ceremonial meaning. The noun has become a staple of our modern lexicon, but with a less ceremonial meaning.
Split the noun into its two syllables.
Add a letter to the beginning of the first syllable, and the same letter to the end, to form a noun characterizing Saint Paul because of something he was able to do in the Book of Acts. A basket was involved.
Add two of that same letter to the end of the second syllable to name, in one noun, something Saint Paul sported, according to early Chistian iconography.
What is this two-syllable noun? What are the two nouns formed from its syllables?

Riffing Off Shortz And Young Slices:
And now, a word from our sponsor, Brand XX

Will Shortz’s June 24th NPR Weekend Edition Sunday puzzle was created by Joseph Young of St. Cloud, Minnesota, who conducts the weekly Puzzleria! blog. It reads:
Think of a well-known commercial name in 9 letters. Change both the fourth and ninth letters to X’s and you’ll get two other familiar commercial names, one after the other. What names are these?
Puzzleria!s Riffing Off Shortz And Young Slices read:
ENTREE #1:
Think of a past well-known commercial name in 10 letters. Change the second letter to a “p”, change the tenth letter to a “d”, and delete the fifth letter. What you’ll get is a food and how it is often prepared, one after the other. What name, food and method of preparation are these?
ENTREE #2:
Think of a somewhat well-known commercial name in 8 letters. Change the first letter to a “b” and add an “o” after the eighth letter and you’ll get two terms used in mathematics, one after the other. What is this commecial name and what terms are these?
ENTREE #3:
Think of a somewhat well-known commercial name in 10 letters. 
Change the fourth and fifth letters to and “e” and “r” and replace the final letter with an “o” and “p” and you’ll get an article of apparel and the profession of a person who wears it, one after the other.

ENTREE #4:
Think of a well-known commercial name in 9 letters. 
Change the second, fifth and ninth letters to an “i”, “l” and “i” and you’ll get an over-the-counter brand name drug and a global supermarket chain name, one after the other. What names are these?
ENTREE #5:
Think of the name of a commercial manufacturer in 7 letters that is well known abroad, but not so much in the United States. Insert one “y” between its third and fourth letters and one “u” between its fifth and sixth letters. 
The result, one after the other, will be an English word for something you see on a map and an uppercase word that is an example of that “something” in the country where the commercial manufacturer is based.
What is the name of this manufacturer? 
What are the English word and uppercase word?
