Well hopefully you weren't anchored near Peleliu when I was OOD, here's another one. Roving watch reported to me a 12 o'clock anchor. I did not know the significance of that, didn't have it in my training I was an airdale not a boatwains mate (but I should have known). Anyhoo, overnight this continues, daylight comes and we are pretty close to another anchored ship, been drifting towards it all night. Not my proudest moment as OOD. They set the sea and anchor detail and fixed it, I should have got my *** chewed but nobody said a word to my surprise.
