Heard over the 1MC (All Compartments Intercom system) aboard an American Gray Funnel Line Ship....
"All Hands, All Hands...Hear this! Give the Ship a clean sweep, fore and aft, collect all rubbish and deposit it in the **** Cans provided!".
About one minute later heard over the 1MC...."Hear this, hear this! Belay my last about the **** Cans!".
I happened to be sitting in the XO's Stateroom enjoying a Cup of Coffee when that happened.
He was not amused.
That was an interesting cruise from the Philippines to Hong Kong as I was conducting an Undercover Drug Interdiction Operation that had started in the Philippines and led us to some crew members running a lucrative side business.
