Navy.ca's Fallen Comrades

They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old

A defensive war is apt to betray us into too frequent detachment. Those generals who have had but little experience attempt to protect every point, while those who are better acquainted w ith their profession, having only the capital object in view, guard against a decisive blow, and acquiesce in small misfortunes to avoid greater.

- Frederick the Great
