This book is dedicated to the true SPIRIT of the Merrill, the fine officers and crew of the USS MERRILL (DD-976) with their can do attitude. During the course of her deployment she has always been in the fore front and setting new goals for all to follow. Many long arduous hours were spent getting her ready for any event to take place be it unreps, flight quarters, or just the long watches themselves. It takes team work to do all this from the quartermaster to get us from point to point to the operations specialist to avoid contacts to the engineers who operate the very dependable propulsion spaces. She has completed naval gunfire support, screening the carriers assigned, participated in several combined exercises with allied nations, special continguency operations, and even projects under developmental testing and evaluation. This has been Merrill ' s first deployment and it will not soon be forgotten by all. This book will hopefully show that the Merrill was not lacking in SPIRIT for the SPIRIT still lives on in every man aboard the Merrill.

SEA-FEVER I must go down to the seas again, to the lovely sea and the sky, And ail I ask is a tall ship and a star to steer her by. And the wheel ' s kick and the wind ' s song and the white sail ' s shaking, And a grey mist on the sea ' s face and a grey dawn breaking. I must go down to the seas again, for the call of the running tide Is a wild call and a clear call that may not be denied; And all I ask is a windy day with the white clouds flying. And the flung spray and the blown spume and the sea-gulls crying. I must go down to the seas again to the vagrant gypsy life. To the gull ' s way and the whale ' s way where the wind ' s like a whetted knife; And all I ask is a merry yarn from a laughing fellow-rover. And quiet sleep and a sweet dream when the long trick ' s over. -John Masefield
