1-1-59       0000    Listen my children and you shall hear

                                       the midnight song of a DER

                              Who commences another glorious year

                                       of preventing another nefarious war,

                              Steaming alone in the gray North Pacific

                                       on Station “AP” to be more specific.

 

                              We steam the endless Pacific blue

                                       with our equipment ‘lectronic.

                              Speed nine knots on 170 true

                                       we search for a sub or supersonic

                              contact which could turn out to be

                                       a foe intent ‘pon nuclear delivery.

 

                              Our watch party watches an endless expanse

                                       of stormy seas and sky and such

                              and dreams of the parties, the drink and the dance,

                                       that those at home will enjoy so much,

                              and check our conditions of BAKER and FOUR,

                                       that they may enjoy those parties the more.

 

                              It makes things seem a little bit rough

                                       to while away the New Year’s Eve

                              patrolling nearly normal to the trough

                                       in accordance with, I believe

                              ComBarPac’s msg sent in December

                                       at 180052Z if I remember.

 

                              So with propriety and sobriety,

                                       we have met the brave New Year,

                              with each man in our society

                                       strong to protect those he holds dear,

                              and each individual in his way

                                       the threat of war seeks to allay.

 

                              This is the tale I had to tell

                                       of a midnight ride through a midnight hell,

                              of men who go down in ships to the sea,

                                       to help to keep a free people free.

                              This is the song of a DER

                                       “POTESTAS VIGILIAS” in peace and war.

 

                  P.S.      To liven up the watch a bit and travel with the sea,

                                       we changed to 340 at a quarter after three.
