USS New York: A Voyage of Destiny »

BY RABBI YAAKOV SPIVAK

There you are, dear ship

Emerging from the murky fog

A ghost grey color envelopes you

But you are very much alive

Your powerful engines have thrust you into the great ocean

You embrace your cargo of eight hundred United States Marines

Your flight deck opens its palm

Revealing Iron Eagles of Prey and Rescue

But your color does not lie

There are ghosts deep within you

Those whose deaths have not been avenged

From where your steel was taken we shall all remember

Within your bow lies the iron and smoke of eleven September

Sail on dear ship!

Tenderly you bear the blood of the Innocent

Your destiny… to bring to Justice the Guilty

One day, those who have shed blood will face you

You will bring Vengeance to the cruel

And Peace to the Merciful

Sail on…
