Famous quotes containing the word navy:

    “The Navy is the asylum for the perverse, the home of the unfortunate. Here the sons of adversity meet the children of calamity, and here the children of calamity meet the offspring of sin.”
    —Herman Melville (1819–1891)

    “I call to mind the navy great
    That the Greeks brought to Troye town,
    And how the boistous winds did beat
    Their ships, and rent their sails adown;
    Till Agamemnon’s daughter’s blood
    Appeased the gods that them withstood.”
    —Henry Howard, Earl Of Surrey (1517?–1547)

    “We all know the Navy is never wrong, but in this case it was a little weak on being right.”
    —Wendell Mayes, U.S. screenwriter. Otto Preminger. CINCPAC II (Henry Fonda)
