Er V H 1 oB H Q H H It was kind of weird. At first I couldn ' t think of it as a sfiip, it was just a big rusty mass under the water. But then I saw the cables running down inside the mast that had once connected the directors on the mast with Fire Control Central. I could trace them in my mind. Down there the phones still waited, down there the old analog computers wanted to know speed, target angle, rate of change, spot, deflection — Down there a gunnery team was at General Quar- ters forever ...

Sailor, come on tell me of your times together, did she bring you joy? As you speak of her is that a sadness I see in your eyes? But I see that it soon passes so you ' ve learned to take it all in stride. A sailors life, a sailors strife. Sailors live for the good tommorrow. Sailor, tell me why the reason that you ' ve learned to live with sorrow. The sailor learns the lesson that there will be another day. The sailor knows he must enjoy each moment for soon he will sail away. Did you cross the oceans far and wide, did you see the land of the rising sun? Did you ever go to the land down under before your time at sea was done? Sailor, did you chance to see the unfolding mysteries of time? Did you savor each moment like it was a rare and precious wine? A sailor man — A sailor can tell of many things they will never see. A sailor hopes — A sailor copes with things he knows he will never be. A sailor accepts the fact that he will see another day. A sailor lives each moment for its value for he knows he will sail away. Anthony J. Ciccarlello, i?4 J_J ' Union Of Soviet Socialist Republics LJ ' .
