"US Naval tradition dictates that when a pilot mistakenly lands on the wrong aircraft carrier… fellow crew members do their absolute best to remain discreet so as not to embarrass the pilot.

Yet It has been rumoured that in some extremely rare and unusual circumstances, some sailors took it upon themselves to take advantage of the poor pilot’s misfortunate navigational error, and make sure their mistake did not go unnoticed.  Imagine the embarrassment and horrors in having to return to your Boat with all the markings of your misadventure on display for all to see.
