USS Requin (SS-481) - New Year's Eve Deck Log (1961)
Now listen my mateys and you shall hear,
Of the good ship Requin and her crew of good cheer,
Moored starboard side to, all snug in the nest,
Of three submarines in a straight line abreast.
Her lines are all doubled, she's inboard too,
At berth two twenty-three, pier twenty-two.
Weather has changed, wind is now quite a blast,
Cloud coverage has changed to complete overcast.
ComSecondFleet on the CAC One,
That by the way being the Northampton,
Who's only one of a few left in her class
Is SOPA now as has been in the past.
Duty section, poor souls, are all standing by
To welcome the new year with a magnificent try,
Of sounding the ship's whistle at twenty four hundred,
With a force that will carry as when Thor thundered.
