THE MERCHANT NAVY:
The Merchant Navy, with Allied comrades, night and day, in weather fair or foul, faces not only the ordinary perils of the sea but the sudden assaults of war from beneath the waters or from the sky. Your first task is to bring to port the cargoes vital for us at home and for our armies abroad and we trust your tenacity and resolve to see this stern task through.
Sir Winston Churchill 1941
I consider the protection of our trade the most essential service that can be performed.
Admiral lord Nelson to Captain Benjamin Hallowell. 1804
