"The Services" (US Navy) (Submariners)

(US Navy)

Upon the seas imperiled
climbing steep waves/storms
constant drills to thus excel
large and small ships to man
lonely patrols on the oceans
extended tours without relief
stacked ¾ high in bunks
hearing the general quarters
quickly to their stations found
hours on end to engage
once short range only to be
now miles in distance away
targets when in various ports
when not commanding seas!

(Submariners)

A special class by themselves
considering everything a target
hunters under the seas always
expecting depth charges each
living without seeing the day
ever patrolling and seeking
many on eternal patrols
(due to a foolish media)
each new sub a treasure
a home away from a home
relying on each crew member
highly trained and efficient
considering everything a target
by themselves a special class!
