IN MEMORY OF THOSE MEN AND WOMEN WHO SERVED ABOARD             THE USS AJAX (AR-6) AND ARE NO LONGER WITH US.

                                  "On all the oceans white caps blow,

                                We do not have crosses row on row,

                                But those who sleep beneath the sea,

                                  Rest in peace, our nation is free."
