Heard of a story about an Admiral and his Wife visiting a warship which was anchored off. The ship was cleaned up special for the occasion. a brooche was made for the Admirals wife and painstakingly colored in to show some internation code flags. It was presented and the good lady was so very pleased. Shortly afterwards she noticed people smiling at it. A signals officer noticed it and discretely removed it explaing that it was incorrect. It read "permission to lay alongside"
