An Admiral, inspecting a ship, starts questioning the Captain.
“You have an enemy submarine somewhere near you. How would you deal with it?”
The Captain replied, “Depth charges, Sir.”
“You’ve run out of those. What do you do?”
The Captain replied, “Mines, Sir. I would lay mines.”
“You’ve none of those either. Now what?”
The Captain thought for a few seconds, then said, “I would lay a film of green paint on the surface of the sea, Sir.”
“What the hell good would that do?”
“Well Sir, the sub would hear us and put up its periscope to have a look. The paint would cover the lens, so the sub’s captain would think he is still underwater. He’d keep rising and rising, and when he would get to twenty feet above us, we’d shoot him down with our anti-aircraft gun.”
