My Dad worked for the Canadian Coast Guard. One time (1980s) one of the crew got a call from home on ship-to-shore radio. It was his wife with a non-emergency but she called the ship. The entire ship turned around and went to port. I forget what it was for (where is the chequebook, where is the spare house key etc.?) but it was a huge embarrassment for the guy! It must be one-way or something like that since it seemed the ship had to go in so he must not have been able to call back to his wife.
