MERICA THE BEAUTIFUL When Katherine Lee Bates, wrote these in- spiring words some seventy-two years ago, she might well have envisioned this beautiful lady, the USS AMERICA, because the lyrics to this hymn are the entire meaning from her very birth. The USS AMERICA is the first warship to bear her country ' s proud name. She has the might, beauty, majesty and immensity that are a sight to behold. Her powerful planes will fly our spacious ikies, and she will move graciously through our k-ast spans of ocean, keeping the people of the svorld mindful always of the ideal that many Americans have died for and all Americans live or — Freedom and Justice for all mankind. In today ' s troubled world, the America will ?e ever mindful that she is, indeed, a shrine for the leroes who died in liberating strife. She will take ler place among the mighty fleet, undimmed by luman tears, to answer this cry for help and mercy ind lend strength unselfishly against tyranny and ear. The USS AMERICA is young from her super- itructure to her very crew, made up of over four- :housand men, who can certainly be compared to :he pilgrims who founded our great nation. These men come from the fruited plains, purple moun- tains and metropolitan cities, from every corner of the United States. Many of these men will never meet or know their fellow shipmates because of the immensity of this great lad y; but because of America ' s heritage, the democracy by which we live, they are able to unite together as a working unit. The pages to follow will tell her story from the beginning of her birth to the present time and are dedicated to the American people because this is your ship . . . AMERICA THE BEAUTIFUL — GOD SHED HIS GRACE ON THEE
