I've tracked this story to a copy of the US Naval Institute proceedings
magazine dated 1920.
It was old before this publication of it, almost certainly pre-1900,
certainly pre-1914.
An Oldie, but a Goodie!
Hey everyone, being on the subject of naval assets, I thought you would
appreciate this bit of humor a friend of mine just e-mailed me. This is
truly a gem to modern 'technology' and what happens when you think you have
all of the answers.
Being American military myself and having friends in the Canadian military, I
can appreciate the finese involved here.
Enjoy

somewhat modified form. You would have thought electronic propogation would
keep thngs consistant...
(it sounds like this one has been slightly exagerated - it
was a single battleship first time around:)).
