CO's Stateroom Door
The Commanding Officer's stateroom door displayed a quote from Richard McKenna's 1962 novel The Sand Pebbles.
"We serve the flag. The trade we follow is the give and take of death. It is for that purpose the American people maintain us. Any one of us who believes he has a job like any other, for which he draws a money wage, is a thief of the food he eats and a trespasser in the bunk in which he lies down to sleep!" -LT Collins.
