# 'הדגל האמריקאי ימשוך להתעופף בים' [The American Flag Will Continue to Fly at Sea] (The American Flag is not Going to be Driven from the Seas [Hebrew])

A photograph of a battleship hull on the slipway at launch, with workers and crowds around it, sits above a Hebrew quotation attributed to President Roosevelt, a US flag and his portrait, inside a blue border of stars. The quotation credited to the president backs the policy (testimonial), the flag and stars add national weight (transfer), and the text cites only US battleship totals (card-stacking).

הנשיא רוזבעלט הצהיר:
„הדגל האמריקאי
ימשוך להתעופף בים"

אמריקה עסוקה כעת בהכפלת גדל הצי האמריקאי — שהוא
כבר הגדול והחזק ביותר בעולם — בכדי שהים לא יהיה משועבד
ומשוכנע לשונאים מתקיפים אלא יהיה פתוח וחפשי לכל — לחלש
ולחזק כאחד. האניה הזו היא אחת מ־17 אניות המלחמה בנות
35,000 טון ומעלה כל אחת — שבקרוב יעלה מספרן ל־32 — כפלים
מכוחות הצי הנמצא ברשותה של ממשלה אחרת.

הנשיא רוזבלט

President Roosevelt declared:
"The American flag will continue to fly at sea"

America is now busy doubling the size of the American fleet — which is already the largest and strongest in the world — so that the sea will not be enslaved and subjected to attacking enemies but will be open and free to all — to the weak and to the strong alike. This ship is one of 17 warships of 35,000 tons and upward each — whose number will soon rise to 32 — double the naval forces in the possession of any other government.

PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT
