Three hundred six feet is her overall length.
Nothing her size equals her strength.
Sure she's rough and she likes a fight,
and at least one sub has felt her might.
Her gun crews are fast and sure of their aim.
That she'll never be beaten is her bid for fame.
Already well known in many a port,
She's liked by everyone, She is that sort.
No sea too rough, No gale too fierce,
No wave too high for her bow to pierce.
She's a salty ship with a salty crew.
There is no job she cannot do.
Her lines are graceful and rather sleek.
She's known to us as the Dirty Pete.
