Thanks, Dj - the pressure was getting to me!
On a related note we did have a guy onboard our ship that was sent to find the stern-gate key by a PO in my division. He vanished for the day - came back just before knock off and said he couldn't find it, but was willing to resume the search the next day...

Which would be quite similar to finding relative bearing grease, obtaining a bucket of steam to clean bilges with (being careful to carry the bucket upside down to keep the steam from escaping), and using a plastic bag to take a portable air sample.
It was always a lot of fun to don EABs everytime they passed the order to "Prepare to surface without air". The new guys were fun to watch.
