We had not had time to establish ourselves as a double act before Ernie joined the Merchant Navy. I teamed up with the brother of the late Dave Morris.
The greatest general is he who makes the fewest mistakes.
Neither the Army nor the Navy is of any protection, or very little protection, against aerial raids.
The poor taxpayer may wipe his shoes on a $3 doormat when he goes home, but not the Navy. It is, damn the cost, full feet ahead on a doormat you would be ashamed to get muddy.
What is the great fear of the United States? That an Eastern power will build a navy to challenge us. How do you keep them from doing that? Keep them at each other's throats so they don't have any money to do this. This is why we fought the First World War, the Second World War, and the Cold War.
In the Navy, there is no wrong hole. In the Marines, there is always a hole.
Since Eve negotiated Adam, I am the most disadvantaged negotiator in history of mankind. I have no army, no navy, no air force, no economy.
Great Britain would spend her last guinea to keep a navy superior to that of the United States or any other power.

Underway on nuclear power.
I think 'tradition' is in the past - and how can someone really 'fear' a color? A man may prefer navy to turquoise, but a self assured man could wear any color and he knows that. It's a distinction of confidence.

The US Navy has several people on every ship that can navigate by the stars. They don't fool with that.
I was 20 years old at Pearl Harbor. I was in the Navy about a year and four months before the war.
I'm not an aspiring rapper, I'm not a gang member, I'm not a dope dealer, I don't have multiple babies momma's. I am an American by choice, I am a son, I am a brother, I am a military service member, I am a man who has lost complete faith in the system, when the system betrayed, slandered, and libeled me. I lived a good life and though not a religious man I always stuck to my own personal code of ethics, ethos and always stuck to my shoreline and true North. I didn't need the US Navy to instill Honor, Courage, and Commitment in me but I thank them for re-enforcing it. It's in my DNA.
The British Army should be a projectile to be fired by the British Navy.
The most advanced nations are always those who navigate the most.
The world is a navy in an empty ocean.
