Unfortunately, I have a memory floating around in my head.
But too much would be "redacted".
Subs generally lose no one, or everyone.
But I remember pulling back into port short a man.
Hours of search unable to even recover a body.
They have no grave
but the cruel sea.
No flowers lay at their head.
A rusting hulk is their tombstone.
Afast on the ocean bed.
They shall not grow old
as we who are left grow old.
Age shall not weary them
nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun
and in the morning,
we will remember them.
