The biggest thing is if you saw like a fire, you could call it away.

And this announcing circuit cuts everything else out on the boat.

So no one can talk on the phone if this announcing circuit is on.

It goes to all the controlling stations so you could get people moving in the right direction, set off the alarm, wake people up, things like that.

We'd done it many times.

We do it every couple of days.

And the person lining up the system to do it is kind of going through their process.

Don't use the toilet right now.

I'm sitting in the wardrobe.

And all of a sudden, I hear on the emergency announcing circuit, someone just very frantically say, stop blowing the sand tank.

Immediately, something has gone wrong.

Armchair Anonymous: Military

I open up the door from the wardroom to, like, go out and see what has happened.

Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard
Armchair Anonymous: Military

And the door from the wardroom, which is, like, where we eat, goes right into the kitchen.

Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard
Armchair Anonymous: Military

It turns out that the valve for a sink and then a floor drain in the kitchen were left open when they pressurized the sand tank.
