Control room
Topside watch here:
"We seem to have a problem ... I see a large mushroom cloud over near London Town".
Topside watch
Control room here:
"Aye, keep us informed"
IMC: "Now man the maneuvering watch" "Single up all lines"
They all should be at sea ... any sailor would agree that they get into a lot less trouble at sea.
