"A sailor has passed away today." The final battle is now over and peace has been restored. You failed to make your battle stations during general quarters. You are now relieved from your watch. America thanks you for your service to our country in the defense of freedom and democracy. The carrier has turned into the wind preparing for your final launch. Taps is about to sound ending a successful career as a nation´s defender. Smooth sailing shipmate. A Navy Vietnam Veteran.
