My company commander (Kaleu A.....) in basic training lost command of his S-Boat (Hyäne, I think) by driving it up on the beach in Kiel for almost its entire lenght because the engine telegraph man misunderstood an order (ahead flank instead of back emergency).
She came to rest on a bicylce shed, crushing a few bikes.
He phoned his squadron commander "sir, we broke some bicycles"
"Ok, then throw them away.."
"Not possible, our boat lies on top of them!"
After that he was reassigned to recruit training and I must say he sucked even there...
:rotfl:
And no, he was not named Bernard.
