Aboard USS Denver, Amphib Ship, South China Sea near the Philippines.....over the ship's 1MC PA system....."Attention all Hands, give the ship a clean sweep fore and aft, all decks, ladders, and passageways, deposit all trash in the **** Cans provided!" (Repeated twice of course)
A minutes silence over the 1MC folllowed but much loud yelling and strong sailor talk heard from the XO's immediate area of the ship.....then over the 1MC...."Attention all hands, reference my last, disregard what I said about the **** Cans!" (twice of course)
The poor lad's Chief and Division Officer found themselves having a coffee-less meeting with the XO shortly thereafter.
