My favourite/favorite communications story involves a Royal Canadian Navy destroyer sailing with an RN ditto and a USN ditto. The latter two were signalling each other by radio, and were making heavy weather since the USS had a Georgian radioman, while the HMS had a Yorkshireman on the radio. The Canadian signaller broke in with "Can I interpret? I speak both your languages!"
