You're correct Zen. It turns out it was a recycle of an even earlier speech that the good Admiral might have copied.

There is a definite peril of delegating one's writing to some junior guy on the staff and then blindly signing off on it - you are left looking either like a plagiarist or an empty suit. Or in this case, a sailor suit.
