Toasts of the Royal Navy
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Toasts of the Royal Navy are a set of traditional drinking toasts.
| Day | Toast |
|---|---|
| Monday | Our ships at sea |
| Tuesday | Our men |
| Wednesday | Ourselves (as no-one else is likely to concern themselves with our welfare) |
| Thursday | A bloody war or a sickly season |
| Friday | A willing foe and sea room |
| Saturday | Sweethearts and wives (may they never meet) |
| Sunday | Absent friends |
The words in brackets are understood but unspoken. By tradition, these toasts were proposed immediately after the Loyal Toast, on the relevent day of the week.
