Funniest experience I had when ensign dipping was arriving in Norfolk Va where I think damn near the whole American fleet was docked. The ensign was going up and down more often than a 'w+++++ drawers'. When we passed the aircaft carrier USS FORRESTAL, I think there was no one in sight. Ensign dipped and a sailor comes out of the midship Island, gets on a push bike and rides aft at a rate of knots, dips the ensign and the salute was duly acknowledged. Then he rode back, it looked hilarious.
