SSSSSSSS555SSSSSS5S: era XiM (J. z :? ' HE rugged, strong, and mighty symbol of a nation; the bulwark of home and freedom against which the waves of wrath and jealousy dash in vain; whose bow has cleft the deep blue waters of the Tropics and smashed the angry seas of the gray Atlantic; whose tops have gazed upon the last golden breath of the dying Day and welcomed the Morning Star ; whose guns have frowned on strife and revolution, and furthered the cause of peace by that same grim disapproval. The lifeblood of America courses hotly in your veins, energizing those sinews of iron and steel upon which the thought and labor of countless generations of architects, engineers, and craftsmen have been expended since man first ventured forth to pit his skill against the violence of the elements — the physical embodiment of the hopes and ambitions of unsung heroes who have given of their life ' s blood to farther advance the cause of freedom of the seas. It is then, with fitting regard, that we dedicate this book, hoping in these pages to pay homage to the silent sentinel of the oceans, guarding always with firm and quiet majesty the interests of our United States in foreign lands, our honor and integrity in battle, and the welfare of our people at home.
