Zhengfu

"“Torpedo! Starboard side!” The lookout grasped the cold metal handrail tightly, his knuckles white, staring helplessly as a 20-foot (6 meters) torpedo, travelling at 60 feet per second (65 kph), disappeared from his view to ram 400 pounds (185 kg) of high-explosive TNT-hexanite into the majestic ocean passenger liner."

--R.J. MacDonald, A Distant Field: A Novel of World War I (opening quote)

"The captain (Nicholas A. Andersen) was humming a tune, the same song (The Journey Home) I heard from the anti-war audience in the stadium (November International Stadium). He was the one playing that record in the middle of a sea battle (Operation Glory Horn)."

--Albert Genette, Ace Combat 5: The Unsung War; Mission 27: ACES (ending quote)
