In the training drills, two battleships were at sea on heavy weather seas for two days. I served a lead battleship and I was watching over the bridge in the evening. The sight was bad because of the thick fog, so the captain remained on the bridge and watched everything.
Immediately after the darkness, when the ship rolled through the waves, the watch on the wing of the bridge reported that it is "light! Supporting the starboard bow."
"Is it stable, crying the captain?
Lookout replied, "Stationary, captain!" It meant that we were on a dangerous collision course on that ship.
The captain then called a traffic light. "Signals on the ship: We are in a collision course and recommend changing the course 20 degrees.
In the back "We recommend you change the course to 20 degrees.
The captain said, "Send the captain, change the course to 20 degrees."
An answer "I am a seaman's second class" is returned. "It is better to change the course by 20 degrees"
By this time the captain was angry. He shouted. "I am a battleship! Please immediately change the course to 20 degrees!"
The back blinking ...
"I am a lighthouse."
I changed the course! & # 39; Frank Cock, Minutes
