...and maybe a touch of oblique double entendre? Stretching things a bit, the reference to

"The triton-bearing
Ruler of the Raging Man,
the only King an American
sailor bends his knee to "

could refer to a Triton missile (obsolete) carrying nuclear sub - or even the decommissioned nuclear submarine, Triton.

But then that could imply that we defer only to our weapon systems.

Just a thought...

Great poem, Becky. If I could do 4 more years, I'd try the Navy. Spent plenty enough time living with the Army to know I preferred Air Force life, but always wondered about the Navy...
