In the United States:
USS Twining (DD-540), a Fletcher-class destroyer, was a ship of the United States Navy named for Rear Admiral Nathan C. Twining (1869–1924).
Twining was laid down on 20 November 1942 at San Francisco, California, by the Bethlehem Steel Co.; launched on 11 July 1943, sponsored by Mrs. S.B.D. Wood; and commissioned on 1 December 1943, Commander Ellis Kerr Wakefield in command.
Twining departed San Francisco on 21 December for shakedown training and completed the cruise at San Diego on Christmas Day. Following exercises out of that port, she returned to San Francisco; loaded passengers and cargo; and got underway on 11 February 1944.
Twining arrived at Pearl Harbor on the 17th to begin three months of training exercises, maneuvers, and drills, as her crew honed its skills in bombardment, fire support, and amphibious landing operations in preparation for Operation Forager. On 31 May, the destroyer departed the Hawaiian Islands in company with Fire Support Group 1 of the Saipan invasion forces. She arrived at Kwajalein on 8 June, fueled, and commenced antisubmarine patrols off the harbor entrance. On the 10th, Twining screened the sortie of the task group from the lagoon; headed for the Marianas; and arrived off Saipan at dawn on the 14th. Steaming off the island's eastern shore, she screened cruiser Montpelier; joined briefly in the pre-assault bombardment and, late in the afternoon, engaged in a running battle with a coastal battery. Leading Stockham and Montpelier, Twining closed the shore to 3,000 yards and joined in the fire which silenced the enemy guns. As darkness fell, she took up her station to screen vessels supplying night harassment fire at Garapan on Saipan's west coast.

"Refrain:
You can feel my heart
You can be my love

Whenever you just walk on by
FATIMA - yo, that's my name so check it out
I got shonuffa skills 'n I know what I'm talking 'bout
You might think that I'm too young but yo I got it goin on
And coz I'm young my rhymes they kickin fresh and strong
I saw you once or twice on my way home back from school
You's lookin fly, so I said "hi", but you was actin cool
I thought okay no way to stay and that's alright alright
I passed away - another chance, another day or night
So little do you know about the funkyness inside me
So come a little closer boy and don't you try da fight me
Honesty's a must but you and me can let it go
I touch your mind - I free your soul - commom now feel the flow
Refrain (2x)
Okeydokey - I'm collin with my best friend

This guy is just no good for you, he gamin on you sister
I know but hey what can I do - I like da funky mister
Saturday night and I'm feelin kinda lonely
Everyone's with someone - and me? I am the only
Not to have a cuty, na, do you think that's fair?
These guys just wanna booty - but I don't even care
There he is, my shining star, he's with a bunch of brothers
Smilin at me, comin to me, boy you're like no other
"Hi, my name's Vandell, I liked the way you smiled at me
I know this does sound kinda fast, but I do look for company"
Boy oh boy, didn't you recognize me yesterday?
My heart goes boum boum, no I can't let him get away
Stay baby stay until the break of day
I'll show you love. I'll bring you joy but anyway
