The U. S. S. Franklin D. Roosevelt (This and her sister ship, the Midway, are the largest and most powerful warships ever built.) The following is based on the speeches by Secretary of the Navy, James V. Forrestal, and others at the launching in New York, on April 29, 1945. Proudly, and with reverence, To-day we come to dedicate This mightjf super-carrier, The symbol of a mighty state. Six thousand workers, day and night, Have toiled for months to make complete This mammoth structure, named for one Whose spirit never knew defeat. We who have known his eager mind, And his imagination’s sweep Are dedicated to his aims: The war to win, the peace to keep. On him, a lover of the sea, The navy has a special claim, And soon these planes and guns will roar A fiery tribute to his name. Now, toward this aggregation vast Of iron grim, and shining steel, The river waters, rushing in, Are rising fast to meet her keel. God bless the ship, and bless the men. Henceforward may they ever be Invincible to every foe, And never conquered by the sea. With duty done, and fighting o’er, God bring them safely home once more. —Margery Strong J. B.
