美 国 海 军 司 令
second only to god on their flagships, admirals are unreceptive to orders from anyone.
an american admiral, spotting a blip on the radar screen, ordered his radio operator, " tell that ship to alter course fifteen degrees. " the word came back, " you change your course fifteen degrees. " when a more strongly phrased message met with an equally strong response, he snatched the microphone and bawled, " you change your course fifteen degrees. i am an admiral in the united states navy. "
a calm voice replied, " and i am a lighthouse. "
海 军 司 令 在 旗 舰 上 有 无 上 权 威 ， 不 听 任 何 人 命 令 。
