'Whosoever shall not fall by the sword or by famine,
shall fall by pestilence, so why bother shaving?'

-Woody Allen (1935- )

This and other photographs are available as prints through the Naval Institute Photo Archive. You may place orders or leave messages 24 hours a day at 1-800-233-8764, contact [email protected], or visit our Web site, www.usni.org.
