COMMITTED TC GOD AND CQUNTRY Invocation given by Captain Abbot Peterson, Jr., CHC, USN District Chaplain at the commissioning of the USS IWO J IMA KLPH-25 Puget Sound Naval Shipyard, 26 August 1961 Almighty and Eternal God, Thou who art ever near unto those who go down to the sea in ships and do business in great waters, we invoke Thy blessing upon us this day as we prepare to commission this vessel destined to serve in the Navy of our beloved country and in the defense of the free peoples and nations of this world. We would pray not that the face of the waters upon which she will sail be always calm, but that her strength of hull and ex- cellence of equipment shall ever enable her to conquer the raging of the sea and the violence of any enemy. We would pray for those who will man her, that their integrity and courage and skill be so great that they will ever bring her into her desired haven. Guard, guide, and bless IWO JIMA that her mission may be accomplished and performed to the gloiy of the cause of freedom and justice, and to the honor of Thy Holy Name. We would pray for those who from her flight deck will rise on the wings of the wind. May their training and ability to do combat be a deterrent to any who would enslave the free peoples of this world through aggression and violence. And this we humbly ask in the spirit of Jesus Christ, our Lord and our Master. Amen.
