Navy. ke standing on the bridge wing at sunrise with salt spray in my face and dean ocean winds whipping in from the four corners of the globe - the ship beneath me feeUng like a living thing as her engines drive her through the sea. Ihke the sounds of the Navy - the piercing trill of the boatswain ' s pipe, the syncopated clangor of the ship ' s bell on the quarterdeck, the harsh squawk of the IMC and the strong language and laughter of Sailors at work. Hike Navy vessels - nervous darting destroyers, plodding fleet auxiliaries, sleek submarines and steady solid carriers. I like the proud names of Navy ships: MIDWAY, LEXINGTON, SARATOGA, CORAL SEA - memorials of great battles won. I like the lean angular names of Navy ' tin cans ' : BARNEY, DAHLGREN, MULLINEX, MCCLOY, - mementos of heroes who went before us. Hike the tempo of a Navy band blaring through the topside speakers as we pull away from an oiler after refueling at sea. I like liberty call and the spicy scent of a foreign port. I even like all hands working parties as my ship fills herself with the multitude of supplies both mundane and exotic which she needs to cut her ties to the land and carry out her mission anywhere on the globe where there is water to float her. Hike Sailors, men and women from all parts of the land, farms of the Mid- west, small towns of New England, from the cities, the mountains and the prairies, from all walks of life. I trust and depend on them as they trust and depend on me - for professional competence, for comrade- ship, for courage. In a word, they are shipmates. Hike the surge of adventure in my heart when the word is passed Now station the special sea and anchor detail - all hands to quarters for leaving port , and I like the infectious thrill of sighting home again, with the waving hands of welcome from family and friends waiting pierside. The work is hard and dangerous, the going rough at times, the parting from loved ones painful, but the companionship of ro- bust Navy laughter, the ' all for one and one for all ' philosophy of the sea is ever present. I like the serenity of the sea after a day of hard ship ' s work, as flying fish flit across the wave tops and sunset gives way to night. k keeps al ten, sent
