Reign (AM-288) was an Admirable-class minesweeper built for the U.S. Navy during World War II. She was built at the General Engineering & Dry Dock Company, of Alameda, California and completed in 1946, but she was never commissioned. Reign remained in the Pacific Reserve Fleet until struck from the Navy list 1 November 1959. During that time, however, she was redesignated MSF-288 on 7 February 1955.
Famous quotes containing the word reign:
“Fatalism, whose solving word in all crises of behavior is All striving is vain, will never reign supreme, for the impulse to take life strivingly is indestructible in the race. Moral creeds which speak to that impulse will be widely successful in spite of inconsistency, vagueness, and shadowy determination of expectancy. Man needs a rule for his will, and will invent one if one be not given him.”
—William James (18421910)
