John D. Long I went to military college in Canada and graduated as an officer in the Navy but also as an engineer. Marc Garneau I've been to a number of places and seen for myself the caliber of people who are in the Navy today - in all the services for that matter. This is an altogether different bunch. These people of today are really bright, young, good people. Ernest Borgnine In my opinion the greatest advantage we can at present expect from our Navy; for at this early period We can not expect to have a Navy to cope with the British. William Whipple It is too maddening. I've got to fly off, right now, to some devilish navy yard, three hours in a seasick steamer, and after being heartily sick, I'll have to speak three times, and then I'll be sick coming home. Still, who would not be sick for England? John Masefield Kennedy lied and lied about his health while he was alive, even using his father's influence to get into the Navy without ever taking a medical examination. Richard Reeves Later on, there were some problems with our navy, so he made me the head of the navy - all things that I hardly knew anything about. I was basically an ignorant young man. Shimon Peres Later, after flying in the Navy for four or five years, spending some time on an aircraft carrier, I applied to and was accepted in a program where I went to graduate school first and then to the Naval Test Pilots School. Mark Kelly My father took me back home, back to Greenwich Village, and he thought by taking me out of the orphanage he'd be out of the World War too. But no way - they got him anyway. He went in the Navy and then I lived on the streets. Gregory Corso My uncle and my grandfather both worked in the Brooklyn Navy Yard. Dave Van Ronk My whole world before I joined the Navy was my neighborhood in the Bronx. Tony Curtis Neither the Army nor the Navy is of any protection, or very little protection, against aerial raids. Alexander Graham Bell No matter what happens, the U.S. Navy is not going to be caught napping. Frank Knox No nation ought to keep a navy larger than is necessary to do police duty. George William Norris Pink is the navy blue of India. Diana Vreeland The head of a ship however has not always an immediate relation to her name, at least in the British navy. William Falconer The highly skilled workers at Lima have enabled the plant to grow far beyond its original mission, now providing a wide variety of cutting-edge military vehicles and equipment to the Army, Navy, and Marine Corps. Michael Oxley The main American naval forces were shifted to the Pacific region and an American admiral made a strong declaration to the effect that if war were to break out between Japan and the United States, the Japanese navy could be sunk in a matter of weeks. Hideki Tojo The Marine Corps is the Navy's police force and as long as I am President that is what it will remain. They have a propaganda machine that is almost equal to Stalin's. Harry S. Truman The Navy has changed a great deal. Not that the officers of my day were bad, because I served under a lot of good officers, believe me. But there were a few bad ones, too. Ernest Borgnine |
