| COMMODORE'S THEME | ||
| ||
|
There is a ship that sails the sea Her crew a sturdy lot Armed with pride and dignity A guardian juggernaut | ||
|
Her skipper steers through bells of eight To reach the distant shore The guiding stars we navigate Belong to Commodore | ||
|
Chorus (2x): Freedom is the bridge that connects us Spanning skill and Semper Paratus Never broken, always sure We look to Commodore | ||
|
We are one with God and crew The stars and stripes fly proud Our ensign bars of red and blue On ships and planes unbowed | ||
|
Shipmates hear the boarding call Join our ambassador The mission is once and for all To trust in Commodore | ||
| (To Chorus) | ||
|
Shining sea to windswept fields The homeland above all It beckons with the purple skies O’er lakes and waterfalls |
||
|
“Always Ready” means to us Be vigilant and more Be true to self and one and all Our friend is Commodore | ||
| (To Chorus) | ||
