Commander Weatherby, voiced by vocal genious Jon Pertwee, was head of security and it could often take him several minutes to finish a single sentence - "I'd like a return ticket-t-t-t-t-t-ticket-t-t-t-t-t to the Digital-Digital-Digital I-mbrI-mbrI-mbrI-tidley-I-tidley-I, the Digital-mbrDigital-mbr-Digital-mbrI-tidley-tidley-mbro-mbro-mbro to hell with the Digital Islands, I'll go to Jersey with him!"

Only when they get in a little closer can they tell that it is actually the number of their ship.

Answer: HMS Troutbridge

The Destroyer "Make Peace" was Admiral Ffont-Bittocks' flag ship, the "Boris Badinov" was a ship in the Forbodian Navy, and the "General Lincoln III" was a ship in the American Navy. If there was a dirty job, they would give it to the dirtiest ship in the flotilla. All hands on deck, weigh anchor, left hand down a bit, right hand up a bit, back a bit and...Whoah! We've hit it!
