What passing-bells for these who die as cattle?
ā Only the monstrous anger of the guns.
Only the stuttering riflesā rapid rattle
Can patter out their hasty orisonsā¦

In the article, his quote mentions reading them over the boat PA systems. Probably just jealous of their literacy.

Something something ship not a boat. Come at me, squid-bros.
Former squid and I still call everything a boat just to see what different people say.
Everyone says boat. Unless theyāre calling someone shipmate because itās hilarious.
Kinda wish Iād been on a ship just for the experience of it but the closest I got was a grudging admission about being under the āDepartment of the Navyā umbrella and a dangling carrot of a MEU if Iād been willing to reenlist. Sorta regret not doing it but Iād had my fill of the routine daily bullshit and was ready to move on. All the Navy guys I knew with the first name āDocā were cool as hell though, the rest were probably at least all right.
I got about a weekās worth of boat time. Definitely not for me glad I just joined a department of the navy too.
