There is a story that is famous in our navy (early 1970s±) from one of our old "O" Class submarines, Ojibwa, I think, about a visiting Brit submarine commander who was put in command of the Canadian boat for a patrol into the tropics. Well, being a Canadian submarine, it was all kitted out for operation in the North Atlantic, not in the South Seas and it as freaking hot on board ... over 100°F, so the story goes, day after day. The Canadian sailors being intelligent and practical people (a fact that pissed the Brits off big time during both World Wars) stripped off their shirts and stood their watches naked from the waste up.
Well, the Kipper Commander flipped his noodle and tried putting the entire crew on charge for this flagrant disregard of naval regulations. A British sailor would never be allowed to do something so sensible and, as they were all from the lower classes anyway, would be subject to the full force of the law if they even thought of it! Brit Commander had fantasies of flogging the Kelowneals around the Fleet! The Canadian X.O. got Kipper calmed down and the next day, the entire crew turned up on watch with their shirts and caps properly on ... and not a stitch of clothing of any kind below the waist. The Brit went apoplectic, retreated to his cabin for the duration, X.O. commanded the boat and Cap't. Bligh was put off and was mailed back to Faslane "return to sender" from the earliest possible port.
