Lovely (true) story; The late great Fred was sent ashore by LM to find out how we could help them out. On return LM asked what the escorts had asked for and Fred answered “Send more CAP, Sir”. LM explained that he had to keep a couple of SHARs in the anti-shipping rôle in case 25 de Mayo hove over the horizon (they were hidden aft of the island, so that the admiral didn’t see them).
Next question was “Did you see my son?” To which Fred answered in the affirmative. LM then asked if his son had sent him a message, to which Fred answered “Yes, Sir, he said SEND MORE EFFIN CAP!”
Fred dismissed!
