At the age of twelve he became a shipmaster's apprentice, and at seventeen he shipped as second mate. The following year, as first mate, he made voyages to Jamaicaand the-Guinea coast. Becoming dissatisfied with this employment, he returned to England. The captain and first mate of the brigantine in which he sailed died of fever en- route and, taking command, John Paul brought the ship safely home. The grateful owners then gave him a command, and he made several voy- ages to America. About 1770 he settled in Amer- ica andrsubsequently took the surname of Jones. lVhen war broke out between England and the Colonies, John Paul Jones was commissioned as a first lieutenant by the Continental Congress. He was ordered as first lieutenant to the Alfred, the first flagship of the Navy, then lying off Philadelphia in the Delaware River. On De- cember 3, 1775, he was given the honor of hoist- ing with his own hands our first national flag, the Grand Union Flag. This event marked the first time it had been flown for the Colonies, and preceded by one month the hoisting of this flag by Washington at his headquarters during the siege of Boston. - Later, as commander of the Providence and then the Alfred, he inflicted much damage on British shipping. ln 1776 he was promoted to captain and, in 1777, he sailed in the- sloop-of- war Ranger to France, announcing the surrender of Burgoyne. The first official recognition of the American flag fthe first Stars and Stripesnj by a foreign government occurred in Quiberon Bay, France on February 14, 1778, when Ad- miral LaMotte Picquet, Commander of the French Fleet, returned the Ranger's salute of thirteen guns with nine guns. Following this, Jones conceived a bold plan for an invasion of England and raids on the coasts in order to bring the war home to the British. He hoped that by this means their naval forces off the North American shores would be withdrawn, thus relieving the pressure against Washington's sea supply lines. He sailed for Whitehaven in the Ranger, surprised the garrisons of the fort and spiked their guns. Four days later he met and captured the British sloop of-war Drake and took her to Brest. He there upon became a great hero to the French, who gave him a squadron of five ships. In his flagship, renamed the Bon Homme Richard as a compliment to Benjamin Franklin prizes despite the desertion of three of his men of-war. Cn the 23rd of September 1779, he met the Serapis and the Countess of Scarborough convoying a fleet of 41 merchant ships off Flam borough Head on the east coast of England. Jones engaged the Serapis, a greatly superior ship ' a brilliant and remarkable four-hour battle. Bon Homme Richard was in dire straits and in sinking condition when Jones, challenged to surrender by the captain of the Serapis, shouted his famous reply, 1 have not yet begun to fight. He boarded the Serapis and captured her, and with the aid of the Pallas of his fleet, captured also the Countess of Scarborough. John Paul Jones was made a Chevalier of France and given the Royal Order of Military Merit by Louis XVI in 1779. In 1787 he received a gold medal from Congress in 'recognition of his services. ' p The following year, with our government's permission, he entered the service of the Em- press Catherine of Russia as a Rear Admiral, maintaining his status as an American citizen. He was given the Order of St. Ann by the Em- press, and in 1790 returned to France. He died on the 18th of July 1792, and his body was in- terred in Paris. ln 1905 a fleet of American warships escorted his body to Annapolis' where it now rests in the crypt of the chapel at the U. S. Naval Academy. he continued to harass the English and take , in 1 WY d J . x-, . .. AL.. .., , y . , - , , . . . W- W , V..---ff.,-ifaaxzuf . ,. , A .. ,, 5..- .. - . .-- - - 1,.'

I8,l954 LAUNCHED MAY 7,1955 .COMMISSIONED APR. 5, 1956 HI TCJRY of the USS JOHN PAUL JONES The steps which enter into the build- ing and commissioning of a ship may be likened to those entailed in building a house. 2. Decide what type you need. 3. Dig up the money. 4. Find an architect. 5. Approve the design. 6. Dig and lay a foundation. - 7. Put up the walls. 8 Move in when the roof is on. 9. Finish up the insides. 10. Live in it a year, and ll Improve it when you can afford l Decide you need one. it. Of all the steps involved in building such a structure, the most thrilling is the year of living in it. We are at present involved in that process, and that of im- provement. Shipbuilding, however, inf volves much longer periods of time than does the average home. For instance,'john Paul jones was a gleam in the eye of the Chief of Naval Operations back in the late 40's. It was decided that a new class of destroyers was needed, one ,of a radically new design. Congress liked the idea, and with Gibbs and Cox drawings on the board, the keel was laid in 1954. ' -...wifi-:S1f.kZ Q-5-gbufqggid-o zv L R 4 ' , . . Admiral Momsen, then Commandant of the First Naval District, welded a small plate to a piece of unimpressive steel. This plate may be seen in the bilges of our forward engine room, welded as it is to the keel of the ship. Admission is free. The walls went up for about a year and three months. Then, on 7 May l955, Mrs. Robert B. Carney, wife of the Chief of 'Naval Operations, smashed a perfectly good bottle of champagne on the bow of a hull in Bath, Maine, and with the words: I christen thee john Paul jones, and added and may no one ever tread on thee! the roof was on.

There was a Paul ,jones I, a six-gun pad- dle steamer, built in 1863. We can men- tion Paul jones, jr., a 30-foot motor launch of the same era. Then, in aught 2, DD 10 appeared, named Paul jones. This was a torpedo boat, displacing about 400 tons. She was decommissioned in 1918. - Paul jones No. 4 QDD 2305 was per- haps the most illustrious. Commissioned in 1921, she had a long and active service in the Asiatic Fleet, through World War II. Her exploits in World War II are em- blazoned on our quarterdeck. She left the fleet in 1945. , Now, we appeared from throughout the fleet, flocking to Bath or to Newport, arriving as individuals, but with the pas- sage of time becoming a cohesive group, the family which was to inhabit john Paul jones. 1 When first seen during the fall days at Bath, the old, or rather new JPJ matched the Maine autumn admirably. However, with the advent of winter, red-lead didn't compliment snow to any great extent, so a coat of haze gray seemed to be in order to fit in with the landscape. Came builder's trials in early March, and she went to sea - to her natural habi- tat. The versatility of the movable home at once apparent, the preliminary accept- ance trials of late March were enthusias- tically welcomed.

We went to Newport to join the De- stroyer Force, and were such individuals that we preferred to moor to a buoy rather than to nestle near an AD at the pier. We were honored to have many distinguished visitors and our housewarming was a trip to start the Bermuda Race at the mouth of Narragansett Bay. Leashing the social butterfly, we re- turned to Boston, waved hello to our sister ship, Forrest Sherman QDD 9315, waved goodbye to Boston and after a grand and glorious Fourth in Newport, set sail for Gtmo, Pearl of the Greater Antilles. . ffwwgwv- f-We -PM-asv 'M' xnwuwi GT M O...

Navy fRet.5, and Nola Birch Hayler, was born in Muncie, Indiana, November 29, 1918. He was graduated from Rogers High School, Newport, Rhode Island in 1935 and then attended Phillips Academy, Andover, Massachusetts. He had a year's enlisted service in the U. S. Naval Reserve, and entered the U. S. Naval Academy in 1937, graduating with the Class of 1941. Ensign Hayler was ordered to the USS Fann- ing QDD 3855, a Pacific Fleet destroyer. For four years, during Mforld War II, he served in this same vessel, from. junior Officer to Gunnery Officer, and finally as Executive Officer. Dur- ing this period the- USS Farmz'ng participated in the Marshall and Gilbert Islands campaign and was a unit of the Task Force which launched the Doolittle Tokyo Raid. This vessel served with the British Fleet on their initial offensive operations in the -Indian Ocean, and acted as escort for President Roosevelt during his 1944 inspection trip to the Pacific and Alaskan waters. She also participated in the Philippine Islands campaign and in actions around Iwo Jima. ' In May of 1945, Lieutenant Hayler com- missioned the USS Gearing QDD 7105 as Execu- tive Officer, and then in 1946 commanded the USS Harmon QDE 6785. In 1947, Lieutenant Commander Hayler was ordered to the USS I-Iuntington Q-CL1075 in the Mediterranean Fleet as Navigator and Operations Officer. In 1948 he was ordered to duty in the Bureau of Naval Personnel where he served in the Offi- cer Assignment Section, and later in the Office of the Chief of Naval Personnel. During this period he was also assigned to additional duty as Aide at the White House. In 1951 commander Hayler took command of the destroyer USS Goodrich QDD 8315 and made two cruises in the Mediterranean with the Sixth Fleet. In 1953 he attended the Armed Forces Staff College and in 1954 was ordered to the Navy Department where he served as Aide to the Chief of Naval Operations, Admiral Robert B. Carney. g In September 1955, Commander Hayler was ordered as Prospective Commanding Officer of the new destroyer john Paul jones QDD 9325, then building in Bath, Maine. He assumed command on the commissioning of this vessel on 5 April 1956 Commander Hayler is married to the for mer Barbara Englund Silliman of Bangor Maine.

In 1948, he returned to the Academy for a post-graduate course in Ordnance. J Serving aboard destroyers is no new matter for the Exec, for, since receiving - V 1 his commission, he served as CIC officer aboard the USS Swanson QDD 4931 from P A 1943 to 1945, as Gunnery Officer on the USS Shelton QDD 7901 for a period of I nine months in 1946 and as Executive Officer of the USS Wm.

Emerging from the latter in l947, he served suc- cessively aboard the USS Orleck QDD 8865, C. P. Cecil QDDR 8355, Tolzee CAM 2885 and Flamingo QAMS 115. After this, he subjected himself to a combination of a postgraduate-MIT. course, winning a Master's degree in Physics. This proved most useful during his next duty assign- ment, in the gunnery department of the USS Antietam QCVS 365. Aboard john Paul jones, he has been most active, with a high batting average in summary courts and has more cancelled firing schedules to his credit than any other DesLant Gunnery Officer. A determined foe of ammunition off-loading, he is characterized by the old Anglo-Saxon policy of Unload through the muzzle. Witness the yard work list for aluminum welding.

BURGESS received his commission from the NROTC unit at the University of Kansas in 1954. With that step behind him, he trudged to the Supply Corps school at Athens, Georgia. Right off, he found himself to be a plank- owner. The USS Mitscher QDL-25 was looking for a Disbursing Officer, so off he went. Not satisfied with one commissioning the forgot his camera at the Mitschefsj, he scouted around, found the jPj, and went to work with us. QFor- got his camera again, thoughj. And so he's stayed. Runs a good ship's store Qonly ran out of toothpaste oncej, a galley with meals like Mother used to make when sober, and a REGULATION haircut when the ship isn't rolling. I He's from Harper, Kansas. ENGINEER OFFICER Lieutenant Arthur W. NEILD entered the Navy in 1941. Served as a white-hat for six and one-half years aboard all sorts of cruisers, being an alumnus of Augusta CCA-405, Toledo QCA-65, Macon QCA-1325, and Albany QCA-1241. He left the Navy in 1948 as a first class Ma- chinist's Mate. '48 to '51 he spent in the Merchant Marine, carrying oil around the ocean. In 1951, he was commissioned in the Navy. This time, he got away from cruisers, ended up on Wasp QCVA- 183. ,A touch of shore duty after that, and he was assigned as Engineer Officer of the john Paul jones. No soft job, that. Last summer, he was married to the former Jean Cummings, who was and is a LTJG in the WAVES. fAt least, he outranks hery. She's sta- tioned in Philadelphia, the Chief Engineer's home town.

What paint? l A Coffee break First Division has the dubious honor of be- ing the first of everything . . . first to provide a working party . . . first to draw paint for the sides . , . first to miss a target during a shoot! Ah well, with YEAGER, the father of the first , and RYDER, the savviest SN in the Navy, the division has relatively few catastrophes. Why, the last one we had was all of a month ago when MEEKS, ACKER, and KECK trim- med up the waterline for Navy Day. The one before that was ALTIERE Qshort-timerj and GOUPIL fthe reservejiraising the waterline in GTMO under the eyes of ulcers FOOTE. Man, that waterline sure was a persistent rascal, just ask GAITHER . . . yes, suh! Somehow THOMPSON, BRUCE, and FEATHERSTON managed to avoid the joyful pastime of the tropics , for the first two were mess-cooking and the latter was hiding in the peacoat locker . . . FUOCO found himself a few more passage- ways to clean, while TAPLEY passed up paint for the waterline from his mortar and pestle in the paint locker . . . what a sense of color . . . haze grey. DUNCAN was busy all this time making hangman's knots for the day he could hang GUS,' from the yardarm, and THOMP- SON was muttering something about something as he climbed over the gig.

Those gunners have to be sharp up forward, right under the eyes of the bridge . . . and what better men to have than NELSON, the great stone face , gummy HILL, the only gum- mer's mate in the Navy after a weekend in the Caribbean, and reliable GOWINS, SCHUER- MAN and DAVIS missed a few sleeves on 31 mainly because their thoughts were wandering to Paris liberty after' a few games of JONES. Envoys, in the form of SIDELL, BARTHOLO- MEW, and STARANOWICZ, were dispatched to the nether regions to bring the true faith- and gun orders - to Mt. 52.

Ms., ,,f, 'F T'ff'1,.gg4, ,..:ef 1 Once upon a time, there were two apes going by the names of George and Herman , but old sailors do not die, they just fade away to other departments. Now George was a good old ape who would chase Herman for this and that and to see that all was secure for the Old Man's inspec- tion. The two could never get together over a cup of mud because it was always the deck. The second division started as all divisions with the commissioning of the IPI . . . while in the Boston yard, it was the task of the 2nd Division to raise the waterline, which they have been doing ever since . . . while the oil Kingu four good old buddyy, when he had nothing to do, would give us fresh oil to go with the paint . . . more waterline. Then came GTMO and time for the gunners to shine. Chief .LEMACKS taught his men well. LORIMER, ZORICH, SMITH, BLOOMING- DALE, and PETRIE pulled more than their own on 32, while SIMPSON, SARGENT, and ZELIN- SKI sat back in 53 and let Gunar do all the work Whatta built! - 1 fwhen it was operativeb. DOBSON was farmed out to struggling 31 to show them how. it should be done, and SAYRE was usually up to his ears with Shore Patrol brassards, sticks, and belts. The Deck Force people were no slouches, either, the day GROKE, EDWARDS, et al held the ship spellbound all one afternoon during a towing exercise. I After fun and games at GTMO, fthe cry was Prepare ship for visitors. SHIPE had CAMBRA, GUIDO, GARNETT and KIRK topsideg BROWN had GINGRAS, HOLBROOK, GLAUBEN and MITCHELL inside and, EARP, PELT, THOMAS and TURNBULL were over the side. fYELLE, GRAHAM and MEUNIER made out as mess cooksj. Soon all the visitors were left far behind and we came home, there to be greeted not only by our families and loved ones, but also by some new apes . . .

The Third Division, in accordance with the or- ganization of the john Paul jones, is comprised of three ratings: Fire-Controlmen, who operate and maintain the equipment involved in the aiming and firing of the guns, Sonarmen, who operate and main- tain the equipment associated with anti-submarine warfare andg Torpedomen who operate and maintain the weapons- used in anti-submarine warfare. The Third Division falls under the supervision of the Gunnery Department which is headed by the il- lustrious Gunnery Officer LT. D. G.

Q Where is Annapolis located on those, George? j MCDEVITT and our Fire Control Officer, Ens. R. W. Q This will never replace the Chief's quarters j LANE. The torpedo gang is comprised of Chief Brasher, Anderson TMI, Harrison TM2, Madden TMSN, and Buechs TMSN. They still maintain that the Ol level forward of the stacks is a torpedo deck, not a cere- monial quarterdeck. The fire-control gang consists of Chief Emery, Coates FTI, Bidlack FTI, Bissinger FTI, Scoville FT3, Harris FT3, Tokarski FT3, Martin FT3, Sanders FT3, Crawford FTSN, McCarthy FTSN, Moran FTSN and Gardner FTSN. Main Battery Plot is where the sea stories are told and the first liar never has a chance. ' The sonar gang is made up of Chief BARTERQ MIXSON, SOIL SALVINSKI, S023 LOCASTRO, SO2g O'CONNELL, SOS, HALL, SOSNQ KLASSEN, SOSNQ LIEBIG, SOSN. The sound shack is where they are to be found, and if they can't find you a sub- marine, they'll let you listen to the porpoise talking to each other. Last, but not least, are the Gunnery Office yeo- men, GUERINO, PN3 and FANDEL, SN. It may be a little difficult to locate them sometimes, but they are always on the ship Qunderwayj.

Ah yes, these things can happen, and they are our 'responsibility . . . but to survey our useful- ness from this standpoint would be taking the dimmest possible view. Put on your rose-colored glasses and read on! The OC Division is actually concerned with all the communication devices and procedures that externally link our ship with the Fleet. Whether it be typed, taped, or transmitted, stamped, stenciled, or scribbled . . . whether it be blinked, barked, or broadcast, coded, cabled, or CONFIDENTIAL . . . the OC Division will usually handle it. It takes three or more distinct ratings to ac- complish this frenzied communicating: Radio- men fRMj . . . who can be spotted because W Yesterday's news . . . today .a-f ' their ears are usually flattened against their heads from wearing earphones, Quartermasters . . . who can be recognized easily because they wink excessively in sympathy with their blinker lights, and Yeomen QYNQ . . . whose dis- tinctive physical trait are their stub fingers, worn to the second joint from pounding a type- writer. Let us not forget the Teleman QTEQ, who walks in a constant slouch due to his never-too-full mailbag, and the personnelman QPNQ, who has the imprint of a Page 13 on the palm of each hand. In passing, of course, mention should be made of the Communi- cator who speaks in short, indistinct coded phrases, such as: Hynhart, scratches stubble on the phizkin, right away! We've mentioned what they do and look like. Who, specifically, are they? Inhthe Radio Shack you can't help but run into Chiefy Porter, Crownie Crownhart, Pops Hynes, and Ski Grabowski. You might also trip over Tom Tomasello, Jerry Neeland, and Buzz Connally. Hunched up in the corner might be the forms of Foggy Clear, Len Leonard, and Foot Schuh. On the Signal Bridge you are apt to End John Murray, Buddy Ames, Denny Deni- son, and Ken Double meticulously scraping the bottom of the coffee pot for that last health- giving drop . . . all supervised by Pottsie Potts. On a clear day, you will spot Topsy LaCour, Gil Gilman, Tiny Stohrer, and Buck Grady lounging in, on, and around the Pilot House. In the Executive Office, there should be five men. They will be packed in so tight that their faces will be unrecognizable, but you may make out Blank Riggs, Alkyhoff Althoff, Genie Grant, Red MacNamee, and Olie Olson. Once again, on a fine day, you will see Tony D'Antonio, either coming or goingq I The Communicator , of course, can seldom be seen . . . but can always be heard . . . and that is as it should be.

John Paul Jones Comes Back LONDON - After 178 years John Paul Jones has returned to Scotland bearing a gift of silver. Although not in the person of the great naval hero of the American Revolution, the I have not yet begun to fight spirit was with every member of the crew of the newly commissioned destroyer USS john Paul jones. Presentation of silver to the people of Kirkcudbright, Scotland, was remi- niscent of a raid in 1778 by Commo- dore Jones and his men from the Frig- ate Ranger on a neighboring Scottish castle. When the owner, who they had intended to kidnap, was not at home they took silver as a prize of war. Jones later purchased the silver from l his men and returned it to its owners. A silver tea pot that was part of the loot was on display at Kirkcud- bright. The new Sherman class destroyer visited Scotland and the birthplace of their namesake. While the ship was berthed at Edinburgh, Scotland, the commanding officer, Commander R. W. Hayler, Ir., USN, four officers and nine crewmembers iourneyed by bus to the Stewartry of Kirkcudbright, Scotland where Iohn Paul Iones was bom in Iuly 1747. The Stewartry is similar to a county and is the only Stewartrystill existing in Scotland. First stop the John Paul Jones ex- press made was in Kirkbean where they visited the Church where Com- modore Jones' family worshipped. In the churchyard they viewed the grave of his father, John Paul, Sr. Inside the old church is a baptismal font which was presented to the church by the U. S. Navy in memory of john Paul Jones. Only a few miles from Kirkbean, on the Arbigland Estate, in a little cottage overlooking the sea, john Paul Jones was born in july 1747.

To Bonny local family which have no Jones fam- ily connection, was the next stop on the local tour. Greeting the American Navy group at the cottage was a sentence beside the driveway in white shells Wel- cgme Iohn Paul Iones Cottage -- American Navy. According to Maior C. W. S. Blackett. proprietor of the Arbigland Estate, the work was done by the children living in the cottage. After having dinner at nearby john Paul jones Hotel, the American sailors were off to the County Seat of the Stewartry - Kirkcudbright. Upon arrival at the Town Hall, the local residents met the Navy men and took them to their homes to spend the night The men were so impressed with the hospitality that they asked Commander Hayler rf there was any way that the visit could be extended The next morning in the Council Chambers Commander Hayler pre sented to the Governor of the Stew artry Rev James A Fisher a silver tray In Memory of Commodore john Paul jones A bronze copy of the ships emblem was also presented The shield shaped emblem has an :mage oi Commodore Iones in the center circled by all the ships which Scotland he commanded. Across the top is the immortal words I have not yet be- gun to fight. Among the list of ships he commanded was the Serapis. which he boarded after his ship, the Bon Homme Richard had won the sea battle with the Serapis and was sinking. It was during this battle that Iones made his historic state- ment to Capt. Preston of the Serapis. After sightseeing in the small town, the group met at the yHotel in Kirk- cudbright for a farewell dinner. After dinner they parted company with the delightful town of 2,500 and headed back for their ship. Enroute one last stop was made at Dumfries, nicknamed Queen of the South of Scotland where Commander Hayler signed the distinguished visitors book at the Municipal Chambers and Was greeted by the Lord Provost William Wallace The following day was a busy one for the entire crew In the morning the Commanding Oflicer accompanied by two officers and three enlisted men of Scottish descent presented a bronze copy of ships emblem to the United Services Museum in Edinburgh The plaque will be placed with other relics of john Paul Jones Part of the loot' 4UQS WW lW Boptismal font . in memoriam Grave of John Paul, Sr .. il l . . . .,.--..4,., . , - -A-V :1-1.-by fivzf 4.-,AE 42:-'f::f?P 'Mi' :3fJL'?f1:5.':- bi,-5'l:.j ,'3-:Qi--7 eg. ::1,g,1':,-'5-:f1:'vZ:'+.g1-.-H 1 MH - - -'-,,..'. -J. -.'-., ch r'W'fc'c 'c 'Mme 'W Eli.

It is a great honor for us and an opportunity to gain more friends for the Navy. A frantic two weeks of painting sides, scrub- bing everything in sight, polishing brightwork, postponing the leave schedule, and the ship gleams. Finally we're underway, spend a night at Quantico, and man the rail the following morning in tribute to George Washington as we glide softly past Mount Vernon. A band greets us as we tie up at the Naval Gun Factory and the VIP's begin arriving . . . Adm. and Mrs. Carney . . . Adm. Baker . . . the District Com- missioner, who presents us with the keys to the city . . . BuShips representatives go over us with a fine tooth comb . . . ' A Adm. Arleigh Burke, Chief of Naval Opera- tions, rises bright and early Saturday morning to come down and have breakfast on the ship and tells us of the great responsibilities we have as Navy men . . . then 'the many visitors begin swarming over the ship . . . 10,000 before the weekend is over . . . and Navy Day 1956 is termed highly successful . The last visitor for .awhile has left the ship and we now begin to make preparations to enter the Boston Naval Shipyard for a much- needed rest and postshakedown availability . . . it's been a cruise we're not likely to forget for a long time to come . . . one of hard work, of pleasure, and above all, one that has, we hope, maintained and strengthened the time-honored traditions begun by our illustrious namesake . . .

We can look back on this cruise with satisfaction on manv ' counts. We have successfullv started a new ship on her 1.-fav to l the Fleet. She made high marks during, shakedown training, at a Guantanamo. She crested a most favorable impression among the W navies and the general public in manv European countries. She f .51 ' made a memorable visit to Scotland and the birthplace of Commo- ' dore John Paul Jones. During the entire cruise she established f p ' an enviable reputation for self sufficiencvand reliable perfor- mance, 1 n May l point out that this fineprecord would not have been possible without the spirit of teamwork and pride in our ship which was shown by the ship's company from the very beginning. Before we sail on our next cruise some of our shipmates will n have been detached for other dutv. To them, as well as to those .zf in who remain to carry on - a well done . l am confident that the future cruises of John Paul Jones mill be eoually. as successful ' and rewarding , a proper foundation in ship spirit having: been gf laid by her plank owners in the best traditions of her gallant 'QEQ 'ay namesake. . il Awww? oi? i ' ' R. ir. units, JR. iid ' f fl 'ipf'-Q EV ' 5' WN ' f t It , N i 5 1 T lf M5 5 Q I Dy wwwk , I f fb My l , X Q-S49 Tho' it may lie fittin' that this page slzoulcl make ya ery, Wipe away the lnine o' sowow ffum yer seamanfs eye.
