Shipmate: One of a body of individuals that comprise the heart
and soul of a naval vessel. As an integral part that not one other
can do without for survival. A friend, a buddy, a lifelong memory
that is a living part of the ship that can be counted on in times of
need and times of Strife, and also can be counted on in times of
revelry and joy. A soul and sentiment that will live forever and
echo in the hearts and minds of his fellow shipmates.
