Excerpt from Our Navy at War

The Fleet was at its secret rendezvous Base to which it had sailed from Hampton Roads on April 3, the day after President Wilson delivered his war message to Congress.

Base 2 was Yorktown, Va., one of the most historic spots in America, and our battleships were in sight of the place where Cornwallis surrendered to George Washington. They rode at anchor in the waters where the timely arrival of De Grasse's ships assured the success of the war for American independence.

Excerpt from Our Navy at War

Manning more than two thousand vessels -
Operating with Allied Navies from the
Arctic to the Adriatic -
Transporting troops and supplies across the Atlantic -
Protecting ships from attack and destruction -
Driving off and defeating the murderous submarines,
You made safe the seas, and
Kept open the Road to France, so that,
Of all the vast Army sent overseas,
Not one soldier on an American troop-ship
Lost his life on the way to France.

Fighting with the Army, your comrades,
The Soldiers of the Sea, won fame in
Hard-fought battles that saved Paris,
Drove back the German hordes, and
Won for Humanity Complete and Glorious Victory.

In recognition of your splendid service, your dauntless deeds, this work is dedicated by one who was sometime your commander and always your shipmate.
