Both of these videos put a smile on my face.

In the first video, a vessel in distress is calling the German Coast Guard. The rookie the in training does not quite understand the skipper's pronouciation of "sinking."

In the second, the captain of the navy ship ends up with egg on his face afer demanding that the "Lighthouse" change course.





What can be learned:

1. Exercise caution when communicating by radio with foregin agencies
2. Sometimes it is best not to be dogmatic and stubborn in holding one's course
