WE ALL LOVED OUR STAY ON THE CAMPBELL, IT WAS A GREAT SHIP. I RAN ACROSS OUR SHIPS PAPER ( SUNDAY SUPPLEMENT) AND ITS GETTING A LITTLE FADED AFTER FIFTY YEARS BUT I THINK ANYONE THAT SERVED ON THE CAMPBELL W32 WILL AGREE WITH THE POEM IN THE MARCH 22, 1953 ADDITION SOMEWHERE OFF BERMUDA.

"THE QUEEN, THE ONLY ONE"

BE PROUD OF OUR SHIP, THE MIGHTY QUEEN, CAUSE YOU WILL FIND VERY FEW, AND FAR BETWEEN THAT WILL SHINE IN THE NIGHT, SO WHITE AND CLEAN; IT'S A SHIP OF THE GREAT WIDE OPEN SEA TO ACCOMMODATE SAILORS, SUCH AS WE; SHE'LL WEATHER THE HURRICANES AND GALES, THROUGH RAIN AND SLEET, HIGH WINDS AND HAIL; SHE DOES HER JOB, AND DOES IT BEST GETS LOTS OF PATROLS AND NOT ENOUGH REST; SO SPEAK UP FOR OUR SHIP WITH THE REST OF THE GOBS, WHEN YOU TAKE YOUR PLACE IN THE CROWDS; AND YOU WILL FIND THAT SHE IS A SHIP THAT YOU WILL BE MIGHTY PROUD; AND WHEN YOU LEAVE, YOU WILL BOAST TOO, "I WAS ON THE QUEEN, WPG 32.
