No problem "deciphering" that - means exactly what it says. The "Wild Blue Yonder" is the domain of the US Airforce. Indeed, even its anthem is titled "Wild Blue Yonder"; whereas the Navy's anthem is titled "Anchors Away". And then there was also the reference to the "Poop Deck", that part of an ancient ship's anatomy, where you did just that!
All just part of Navy lore. The military is steeped in deep meaningful traditions. You really should pay more attention to it. It is a critically important part of keeping soldier's and sailor's morale up, in the face of the extreme adversity they are certain to face at some point.
Not to mention, helping to keep the military constrained to preserving our freedoms, rather than threatening them. --- Which so easily could have happened, but didn't!
