iiag ii i I like the feel of the Navy in darkness - the masthead hghts, the redandgreei and stern h ' ght, the pulsating phosphorescence of radar repeaters - they cut througt. and join with the mirror of stars overhead. And Hike drifting off to sleep lulled by the noises large and small that tell me that my ship is alive and well, and that my shipmates : watch will keep me safe. I like quiet midwatches with the aroma of strong coffee -the lifel of the Navy - permeating everywhere. And I like hectic watches when the exacting minuet of haze-gray shapes racing at flank speed keeps all hands on a razor edge of sharpness. I like the sudden electricity of General Quar- ters, general quarters, all hands man your battle stations , followed by the hurried clamor of running feet on ladders and the resounding thump of watertight doors as the ship transforms herself in a few brief seconds from a peaceful workplace to a weapon of war - ready for anything. And Hike the sight of space-age equipment manned by youngsters clad in dungarees and sound-powered phones that their grandfathers would still recognize. I like the traditions of the Navy and the men and women who made them. I like the proud names of Navy heroes: Halsey, Nimitz, Perry, Farragut, John PaulJones. A Sailor can find much in the Navy: comrades-in-arms, pride in self and country, mastery of the seaman ' s trade. An adolescent can find adulthood. In years to come, when Sailors are home from the sea, they will still remember with fondness and respect the ocean in all its moods - the impossible shimmer- ing mirror calm and the storm-tossed green water surging over the bow. And then there will come again a faint whiff of stack gas, a faint echo of engine and rudder orders, a vision of the bright bunting of signal flags snapping at the yardarm, a refrain of hearty laughter in the ward- room and chief ' s quarters and messdecks. Gone ashore for good they will grow wistful about their Navy days, when the sea belonged to them and a new port of call was ever on the horizon. Remembering this, they will stand taller and say, I WAS A SAILOR ONCE. I WAS PART OF THE NAVY AND THE NAVY WILL ALWAYS BE A PART OF ME. i lo)- pi n I ' - Reflections of a Blackshoe by VADM Harold Koenig,. USN (Re!)
