Navy Service

Famous quotes containing the words navy and/or service:

    “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 have in the service the scum of the earth as common soldiers.”
    —Arthur Wellesley, 1st Duke Wellington (1769–1852)
