On Dens theme.

A story I heard from an old Royal Navy Yeoman of Signals.

The RN and the USN were conduction joint manouvers, included in this were high speed destroyer excercises.

The Admiral an charge had an idea, " When I anounce on the VHF radio a Word begining with S you all turn to Starboard, and when I say a word begining with P you'all turn to Port"

Fine of went the destroyers at 30 Knots.

"Paper, Paper, Paper" and they all turned to Port.

"Sally, Sally, Sally" and they all turned to Starboard.

"Phycho, Phycho, Phycho", and the RN turned to Port, and the USN turned to Starboard.
