The Vast and Endless Sea

Unlike the calling to the battlefields of land, a matter of duty and search for glory, the sea calls to many free spirits who care little for such things. Stories of sailing the oceans of the world and the past expeditions of the our fleet are retold by old sailors as adventures, many of the great sights remembered, many of the great sacrifices forgotten.\n\nIs it any wonder, with such a legacy, that the youths of our nation yearn for the vastness of the sea? Many more have come to join our navy over the past year. Some may end their lives at the bottom of the ocean, but those who return are sure to keep the stories alive.
