Bear with me on this one.
We had a "Forward Puke" qualified EOOW but when he had to stand his rotation back aft he would bring all his non-nuclear material back aft and basically either be a pain in the arse or totally absorbed into his studies.
I was on the Elec. Panel and "received" a call from the DG room (actually from the Chem Sampling station - you know where the sampling pump goes ta ta ta ta ta - at least on the old boats).
I picked up the phone but let the key go so it would come over the speaker. It went something like this.
[Note: we were in transit, >400 feet >20 knots]
Maneuvering, DG Room.
Maneuvering aye.
Maneuvering, DG Room. DG on the warmed up, on the governor and ready to be loaded (ta ta ta ta from phone placed next to sampling pump almost load enough to drown out the speaker)
Maneuvering aye. [Hang up]
At this point, EOOW looks puzzled and call control on the dial phone. He is in the midst of asking control if they want to load the diesel when, over the 1MC the CO screams, EOOW to control, ASAP.Not another word was said of the incident and we never had a problem with that EOOW again.
Sung to the tune of "She'll be coming round the mountian when she comes ..."
"Shutdown rover, 2JV ... "
Followed by, of course,
"Do Da. Do da."
