"For its crew, a Naval Service vessel is more than a workplace. It’s a whole world. And in that world is found many values we admire, and qualities we aspire to. On-board, there are Leaders, Guardians, Mentors, Friends, Comrades, and more. It’s interesting that all of these words fit naturally, and are given more power and meaning when added to the word that describes the place itself: the word ‘Ship’."
