Rabaul New Britain...mid 1960's, noticed aircraft carrier HMAS Melbourne leaving port so called our Secunny to stand-by the ensign. Melbourne had a guy at their stern ensign ready but after passing 3 or 4 vessels without a salute decided he had better things to do and wandered back to mid ship, he must have run the fastest 100mtr on record down the flight-deck to answer our dip.
