and then when the idiots figure out what that is, and answer thus

Man the main gun, away all boats!

1. That's nice.

I have no idea what it means, but it's nice. Hawker deserves our thanks for his service, and best wishes for his retirement.

And thanks to you too, WJMS!

WWII, south pacific.

Thanks WJMS, Thanks Hawker!

3. Yo, Senior Chief Boats....

Which signal book are you using? As indicated, you're using Allied... and the top and bottom signal don't break. The middle signal, "No Visual Watch", can only be used in port.

Is it International? Or Special?

Code Sierra November.

Away all boats, stand by for boarding and salvage parties.
