Navy Day
One thousand cadets, the Pre-Flight School
band, and several officers from this station
journeyed to Raleigh this past Wednesday to
participate in the Navy Day Celebration there.
It was no ordinary occasion, and both the
crowd who watched the parade and heard the
talks and the Navy men who participated were
proud to salute the American Navy whose
might and power now are second to none in
the world.
Lieut. Comdr. Clarence Earle Dickinson, Jr.,
USN, who addressed the cadets here Tuesday
spoke. So did Lt. (jg) Frances Rich, USNR,
of the Waves, and the Honorable Josephus
Daniels, Secretary of the Navy in World
War I.
The entire program and the part our Pre-
Flight School played in it, made us proud that
we are a part of the Navy. It reminded us of
what the Secretary of the Navy Frank Knox
recently said.
“Navy Day of 1943 is a fighting day for the
United States Fleet on every ocean of the
world. In the Atlantic, the Pacific, the Mediter
ranean, and in other theaters of actions, our
men in Navy blue are slugging it out with the
enemy. The hearts of more than a hundred
and thirty million Americans are with them
in the tremendous task ahead . ..
“To the men of the Fleet I say with con
fidence and with pride; Seek out the enemy
—and destroy him! Today, tomorrow, and to
morrow, we must attack.
The Moral Is Obvious...
Because they could swim a scant 50 feet, 17
men saved their lives when their ship was tor
pedoed, but 38 others on board were lost be
cause they could not keep afloat.
This is the story told by a San Francisco
ship’s doctor, who described how his tanker
was struck by a torpedo from a Jap submarine
in South Pacific waters just at sunrise and
■was sent to the bottom amidst a flaming sea of
gasoline and oil.
Those saved swam under water, coming up
splashing and fanning the flames as they broke
water, inhaling a fresh breath of air, then
ducking again beneath the scattered burning
waves, swimming until they were out of
danger.
The 17 all managed, with the help of each
other, to reach one of the pontoon rafts, but
no trace was found of the other 38 after their
ship disappeared.
The ability to swim or keep afloat for as
little as 25 feet, many times, according to ship
wrecked seamen, has been the means of saving
their lives.
