My Thur, Fri sailing on board frigate no. 6 must have been the
most screwed-up one I encountered. Below's transmissions over the
walkie for your understanding:
CO: Helideck, command, why isn't the hangar door open?
Helideck: Sir....(garbled mumblings follow)
CO: Helideck, command, I want an answer, speak up!
After a long pause.
CO: Helideck helideck, bridge....
Helideck: Sir.....(pause), the chain broke.
CO: What the toot! (Obviously not over walkie)
And we're talking about stainless steel chain!
