As the flagships passed abeam of each other and in opposite directions the American Admiral took to the radio and requested to speak “Admiral to Admiral”. In a jaunty voice he complimented the British Fleet on looking so spick and span and seaworthy and completed the transmission by asking “and how is the second largest navy in the world today”? The British Admiral then took to the air and thanked him for his kindness, echoed the same sentiment and may I end by  ask “how the second BEST navy is doing this fine day”?
