I was an RN Signalman, we were at a Royal event so rig of the day was Number One Blues. I got called from my bunk to read a message by lamp at 0200, the ship was at anchor so the OOW would be on the quarter deck and, I figured, the bridge and flag deck would be deserted, so to hell with No.1's. I just pulled on a pair of desert boots and climbed up to the flag deck, where I met the First Lieutenant showing his wife around the ship, at 0200!!!

I got 14 days loss of pay, leave and privileges.
