A Destroyerman's Creed
We are Destroyermen!
Ready to sail and always can do.
The first to arrive and the last to go.
We believe a big ship man would have trouble filling
our shoes.
We like to think we would have no trouble filling his.
We have learned the lesson of self-reliance,
Of pressing the fight with all we've got,
Of not being afraid of a little tough living,
Or any tough assignment.
We are the green-water, open-ocean sailors
In the little but mighty combat ships.
We are real Sailormen,
The Destroyermen of the Fleet.
We can follow the tracks and ride the backs of the
dolphins.
We will be where the action is in every tough situation.
When things are getting too rough for anyone else,
They're getting just right for us. |
