Best Navy Jokes (25)

21. One day a Navy destroyer was on its way to another port when it picked up a periscope from a submarine belonging to a hostile nation. The captain immediately ordered his signalman to send this message: “Unknown vessel off our port bow. Advise you change course 20 degrees.” After a short delay, the captain saw the periscope rotate as the submarine complied with the request. But then it continued rotating until the captain clearly saw the international maritime signal: “You change course 20 degrees.” The captain was outraged. He signaled back: “I am a destroyer of the United States Navy. Change course 20 degrees…NOW!” After an even shorter delay, the periscope rotated back to its original message: “I’m a lighthouse. It’s your call.”

22. One day a young sailor was newly stationed aboard a Navy ship. He had heard rumors that the captain’s pet parrot would randomly squawk out embarrassing personal details about the crew members. At first he thought nothing of it, but soon the stories seemed to hold truth. After a particularly long night, the sailor slept in and was awakened by a superior officer. The parrot immediately squawked, “WHOA! Seaman Jones overslept on duty!” Jones was mortified but it got worse – that evening at dinner – the parrot announced “Seaman Jones wet the bed at age 14!” Horrified, Jones complained to the Captain, who relented and promised the parrot would not embarrass him again. The next morning when Jones appeared at his post after roll call, the parrot remained silent. But then just as he was relaxing it squawked out “Seaman Jones, seaman Jones.” Jones ran to the captain to complain but found the parrot had been removed from the ship. In it’s place was a Pekingese dog, who looked at Jones and calmly announced “Good morning, Petty Officer Jones.”
