“The Royal Navy had not built its magnificent reputation over the centuries by avoiding battle.”
Arthur Nicholson, Hostages To Fortune: Winston Churchill And The Loss Of The Prince Of Wales And Repulse

Colum McCann
“It was a boat, a small boat, an older boat, not much more than the length of a couple of blue whales, and there was one intention, the story immemorial: to survive the harpoon, skip the vortex, complete the job, and get back to where we came from.”
Colum McCann, Twist
