摘要：	When President Franklin D. Roosevelt dedicated the United States Merchant Marine Academy at Kings Point, N.Y., in 1943, in the midst of World War II, he said, "This academy serves the Merchant Marine as West Point serves the Army and Annapolis serves the Navy." He might easily have added, "and as the U.S. Merchant Marine serves our nation," for it would be hard to overstate the Merchant Marine's contribution to the war effort. To say nothing of its sacrifice. According to U.S. Merchant Marine figures, about 9,300 merchant mariners were killed during the war - about one in 26, the highest casualty rate of any service. Indeed, many Kings Point midshipmen served on vessels in combat zones, and 142 lost their lives.
