Paul Ignatius Speech
On behalf of my nearly 12,000 fellow Ingalls Shipbuilding employees, it is my honor to welcome you to the christening of Paul Ignatius (DDG 117), the 31st Arleigh Burke-class Aegis guided missile destroyer.

We are proud to celebrate another Ingalls ship built by the best shipbuilders in the world and are honored to have her namesake, Paul Robert Ignatius, with us.

Paul Robert Ignatius was 18 years old in 1938, when Robert I. Ingalls, Sr. set the foundation for this shipyard. Our shipyard has now been building ships for 79 years, and Secretary Ignatius has been serving his country for almost as long. He was a naval officer in World War II and later served as Under Secretary of the Army, Assistant Secretary of Defense and Secretary of the Navy.

    My fellow Americans, the upcoming national elections present a very important choice. We can forge a “true” representative democracy for the first time in history, and be led by our directly elected leaders.

    Leadership in the Royal Navy

    The sea – and the land which surrounds it – is the natural home of the Naval Service. The Royal Navy (RN) operates on it, under it, above it or uses it to manoeuvre, ready to go ashore for a variety of government-directed purposes: from fighting wars, counter piracy, counter narcotics, exclusive economic zone protection, to providing humanitarian aid. It must be able to do this worldwide and largely self-supporting. It is both a challenging and hazardous environment, which from the outset requires both deep professional understanding and the highest qualities of leadership; it aims to be the best and must demand the most from its people. The RN develops its people through experience and training to excel. In particular it develops essential requirements of leadership and teamwork. The RN also has a set of core values and standards that are inculcated into their people. These attributes of Courage, Commitment, Discipline, Respect for Others, Integrity and Loyalty define the Service. They represent a key element of the moral contract to their people, and although only recently articulated, naval people over the generations would recognise them. Taken together, leadership, teamwork and the values and standards drive their people to achieve the exceptional. This has contributed greatly to the success of the RN in over 550 years. Leadership is a critical life…

    The Apostle Paul is, next to Jesus, clearly the most intriguing figure of the 1st century of Christianity, he wrote all of those letters that we have [as] primary sources. The primary impact he has left on Christianity after him is through his letters, but in his own time, he sees himself primarily as a prophet to the non-Jews, to bring to them the message of the crucified Messiah, and he does this in an extraordinary way. They must have reacted as if this is some sort of strange message at certain levels. What does it mean to call someone the Christ or the Messiah? It must not have been intelligible to a…
