Defensive Patrols
The entry of the United States into World War II had brought new orders for her division, and, in February, she headed back to the Panama Canal. She arrived at Coco Solo from Bermuda at mid-month; conducted two defensive patrols in the approaches to the canal, 10 March to 31 March and 14 April to 13 May; then, toward the end of May, headed north to San Diego, California, to prepare for duty in the Aleutian Islands.

Famous quotes containing the word defensive:
“We find that even the parents who justify spanking to themselves are defensive and embarrassed about it....I suspect that deep in the memory of every parent are the feelings that had attended his own childhood spankings, the feelings of humiliation, of helplessness, of submission through fear. The parent who finds himself spanking his own child cannot dispel the ghosts of his own childhood.”
—Selma H. Fraiberg (20th century)
