1-1-59 0000 Listen
my children and you shall hear
the midnight song of a DER
Who commences another glorious year
of preventing another
nefarious war,
Steaming alone in the gray North
Pacific
on Station “AP” to be more
specific.
We steam the endless Pacific blue
with our equipment ‘lectronic.
Speed nine knots on 170 true
we search for a sub or
supersonic
contact which could turn out to be
a foe intent ‘pon nuclear
delivery.
Our watch party watches an endless
expanse
of stormy seas and sky and
such
and dreams of the parties, the drink
and the dance,
that those at home will enjoy
so much,
and check our conditions of BAKER and
FOUR,
that they may enjoy those
parties the more.
It makes things seem a little bit rough
to while away the New Year’s
Eve
patrolling nearly normal to the trough
in accordance with, I believe
ComBarPac’s msg sent in December
at 180052Z if I remember.
So with propriety and sobriety,
we have met the brave New
Year,
with each man in our society
strong to protect those he
holds dear,
and each individual in his way
the threat of war seeks to
allay.
This is the tale I had to tell
of a midnight ride through a
midnight hell,
of men who go down in ships to the sea,
to help to keep a free people
free.
This is the song of a DER
“POTESTAS VIGILIAS” in peace
and war.
P.S. To
liven up the watch a bit and travel with the sea,
we changed to 340 at a quarter
after three.
