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, or pressing the fight with all
we've got, of not being afraid of a little rough living, or any tough assignment.
We are the green water, open ocean sailors in the little, but mighty combat ships. We are the
real sailormen, the
Destroyermen of the fleet. We can follow
the tracks, and ride the backs of dolphins. We will be where the action is-
in every tough situation. When things are getting too rough for everyone else,
they're getting just right for us!
