J ay ee A stranger to the sea might look upon her as just 'a huge hunk of grey-painted steel, perhaps a bit mystified by her maze of antennas and awed by the might of her weapons. But to us, sheis as a living being, almost human in our minds. We thinklof her in feminine terms and this is not just by coincidence. As a mother protects her unborn child. so 'she protects and provides for us since most of our days are spent sheltered within. the confines of her massive ribs.

He may hide beneath the waves, skulking through the valleys and canyons of that underworld - - he may slither through the skies peeking from behind mounds of clouds - - or he may lurk beyond the horizon on the rolling plains of the ocean - - but it is to no avail. For her senses are so acute and her stamina so tremendous and the fangs of her missiles, guns, and torpedoes so deadly that he can know no escape. But do not misunderstand - she is no beast, for she has a soul - a soul made of the minds and hearts of each and every man of her crew.
