The en and Their Ship my OU feel it when you stop off at a Joe-pot and hear her men Hing abuses at their ship, its officers, its crew, its duty. They scream that their biggest ambition is to get off this bucket of bolts and it undoubtedly is-so they can brag about her elsewhere! You feel it when you see them streak to battle stations as the mad clamor of the alarm, the harsh demand of the bugle, mingles with the beat of their feet on the ladders. It hits you sharply when you see them at work, li 4' I I in routine duty or in emergencies, under any and all conditions-still heaping invec- tives upon whatever it might have been that led them to take to sea. Then you in- stinctively know that the gripes are super- Hcial and undeniably mere part of the dungaree uniform. As you watch them you sense the incredible teamwork from which springs a good ship, a fighting ship. Each man, from seaman to Captain and the Admiral, takes a pride in that teamwork and the part he plays in it. These, then, are those men and their work. --...-41,.--j,-..,- V. .av .zqer Paw-l -N x .Nr Mhhasunnn , 1----V---AY x, N-Q... X, M-, ,, ' 1 yr'--'M ' 1 .W -W, x 'K ,N . .- lr 1 z Q, - ref-, ,.
