Careless Talk Doomed a Fast Tanker

ANNOUNCER: Careless talk doomed a fast tanker before she ever sailed. Careless talk relayed to enemy agents here and then radioed to Tokyo by way of neutral countries. It might have happened like this:

MAN #1: You workin' hard at the shipyard Joe?

JOE: I'll say. I'm finishing up that fast tanker.

MAN #1: Fast tanker?

JOE: Yeah man. Gonna carry high octane gas for B-29s.

WOMEN'S VOICE BROADCASTING: Fast tanker for B-29s

MAN'S VOICE BROADCASTING: Fast tanker for B-29s

FOREIGN MAN'S VOICE IN ENGLISH: Fast-a tanker for B-29s.

(Morse code sounds)

MAN'S VOICE WITH ASIAN ACCENT: Fast tanker for B-29s.

ANNOUNCER: Remember, enemy agents are everywhere, and Tokyo itself is only minutes from the United States by radio. Watch your conversation. Don't talk. Keep the Japs in the dark.

ANNOUNCER #2: This transcribed announcement from the War and Navy Departments is brought to you as a public service.
