Stop engines and drift until no way on.
We should be fine as long as the Yanks don't mistake our "Not under command" signal for a two storey cathouse.

Fine and dandy, Tom, we haven't a fire lit at the moment so the fenders are available.
As for the GD being mistaken for a 2 storey cat-house, I have arranged for someone else to open a floating 2 storey cat-house in virtually the same area so we shouldn't be bothered.
Cutouts, Rig for unloading from a vessel coming alongside, put out all the fenders except the very fancy brass one, don't want that bent, and if anyone attempts to drop off any pussies for boarding, the address is the one just down the road.
And now we wait.
