俚语 navy prayer
释义

navy prayer

A prayer for those moments in the navy when you have no business surviving a situation. When you should be dead, but for some inexplicable reason, you survive. When that happens, you know there is a higher power, and you thank him. Or her.

Akin to: “There are no atheists in foxholes,” but specific to the navy.
Example 1: The navy fighter pilot ejected from the airplane. Realizing he should not have survived the ejection, the pilot said a quick navy prayer as he (she) hung in his (her) parachute.

Example 2: Two thousand miles from land, the sailor was blown off the flight deck of an aircraft carrier and survived the 100-foot fall only to watch the ship stream away. When he was recovered, the sailor said the navy prayer was his (her) only hope.
