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.
