Uncle Albert: [after looking at an old WW2 photo of Uncle Albert's] Just a few hours after that photo was taken we was in action.Del Boy: That's all you need, innit?Uncle Albert: There was an American aircraft-carrier, anchored off-shore. The USS Pittsburgh. It was our job to protect her. Well, we'd only been sailing for about an hour and we crashed right into her. Cor, didn't half make a noise.Del Boy: [incredulous] You went and whacked into the boat that you were going out to protect?Uncle Albert: Yeah. It was a good job she was there actually, she picked up most of the survivors.Rodney: Was your ship badly damaged?Uncle Albert: *We* couldn't tell, Rodney, it sunk! Course, they tried to put the blame on me.Del Boy: Sounds fair.Uncle Albert: Just 'cos I was on watch at the time. I had me excuses ready!Rodney: What, were you drunk?Uncle Albert: Don't be silly! The American vessel was at battle stations and was showing no light. You weren't allowed. There was a war on.Del Boy: Course there was.Uncle Albert: So then they tried to get me on naval technicalities, like it happened in broad daylight.Rodney: You didn't see an aircraft carrier?Del Boy: Forty-two thousand tons of steel!Uncle Albert: Well I wasn't close enough!Rodney: You must have been reasonably close. Unc, you hit it!Del Boy: They'd have stood more chance with Ray Charles in the crow's nest!
