The Crow & Anchor
- Social connections made easy and private. Think a quiet pub, Barney's Beach Hut, or maybe the Horse & Cow (with adult supervsion!).
- The name Crow & Anchor was chosen to represent the entire spectrum of Cold War submariners. The crow hails from the Petty Officer insignia, the anchor from Chiefs and Commissioned Officers. Non-rated? That's the 'and' part.
- All are welcome here!
- Each group may have unique rules and may or may not be moderated.
The Crow & Anchor General Orders
The Crow & Anchor General Orders protect you, your shipmates, and the Cold War Boats Association, and, as you might have heard, preserve good order and discipline.
In general:
- DON'T advertise or sell anything without a Cold War Boats Sales Agreement in advance.
- DON'T post porn.
- DON'T post anything illegal.
- DO respect the group.
- DO keep it clean. There are family members here!
- DO 'get as good as you give'.
- DO direct questions about the groups to your Site Lead, or Lead Admin.
- DO have a great time reconnecting with your shipmates!
Think of these as hints. Pay attention to the hints. The hints are your friend!
Don't do anything that makes it necessary for Shore Patrol to get involved!
You don't want Shore Patrol involved!
Our shipmate has passed on before us.
Whether by enemy action, the remorseless sea, or the ravages of time and age,
we must accept that God has called you to where we cannot yet follow.
We commend your body to the deep, and your soul to God Almighty.
May God grant you fair winds and following seas.
Godspeed, shipmate.
We will miss you...
"All mankind is of one author, and is one volume; when one man dies, one chapter is not torn out of the book, but translated into a better language; and every chapter must be so translated. God employs several translators; some pieces are translated by age, some by sickness, some by war, some by justice; but God's hand is in every translation, and his hand shall bind up all our scattered leaves again for that library where every book shall lie open to one another...
"No man is an island, entire of itself, every man is a piece of the continent, a part of the main.
"Any man's death diminishes me, because I am involved in mankind; and therefore never send to know for whom the bell tolls; it tolls for thee."
John Donne
Meditation XVII
Devotions Upon Emergent Occasions
Nunc lento sonitu dicunt, morieris.
Now this bell tolling softly for another, says to me, Thou must die.
