1978 Bermuda. The Coast Guard ship I was on pulled in moored a British sub. The next morning the chiefs on our boat went over there to meet and greet. There, on their quarterdeck on the pier by their gangway way the one watch stander, while on watch, with a full pint of ale. This was 0900.

The only time I thought another country was better off than the US.
