Mighty "O" R.I.P.
When at last her course is run,
Her work for God and country done.
Of all the souls in her that have sailed,
Let not one life in Thee have failed.
But hear in heaven our sailor's cry,
And grant eternal life on high!
The Navy Hymn
The retired carrier Oriskany went to the bottom today off the Gulf coast to be an artificial reef. May she rest in peace. Her former crew's association website is here.
