... is this line extracted from a letter written by Admiral Nimitz shortly after the loss of three USN ships in a typhoon
"Nothing is more dangerous than for a seaman to be grudging in taking precautions
lest they turn out to have been unnecessary. Safety at sea for a thousand years
has depended on exactly the opposite philosophy."
Tempted to print that out and nail it on a bulkhead!
