Setgirl subs are subthieves and scoundrels all, no matter what flag they fly!
For the record, The Department of the Navy officially denies the following incident ever occurred...
Fly Your Colors
Admiral Binghampton was on no one's list of favorite people as he toured various commands across the Western Pacific. While the war had done much to weed out the Peacetime political officers, Binghampton was very effective as a bureaucrat and generally knew to keep his opinions to himself. He was still a stickler for 'By the Book' behavior. Something had to give...
It did.

USS Sea Tiger: "Now you've done it, Stingray! We know it was you who stole the admiral's underwear and ran them up the flagpole!"
USS Nerka: "Yeah! And now, Admiral Binghampton is gonna court-martial Pampanito! He's had her locked up and talking about throwing her out of the service because of your little stunt!"
"Pampanito?" Stingray demanded. "What's she in lock-up for? We may look alike but I swear, there was no way he saw me!"
"Pampanito got into it with Binghampton over some of the equipment she arranged for Wahoo's gang to get," Nerka explained. "Those knuckleheads probably swiped it themselves but she was running cover for them and now your little stunt on top of that and Binghampton is gunning for her scalp!"
"Alright! Alright! I'll fix this! Do you guys really think I'd hang a sub out to dry?"
"No... But how are you gonna save Pampanito?"
"I said I'd never hang a sub out to dry. An admiral on the other hand..."

"HELP! HELP!"
Nerka nudged Sea Tiger. "Look at that!" She pointed to one of the base's big cranes. A man could be seen hanging upside down from the raised end.
"Admiral Binghampton?"
"GET ME DOWN FROM HERE! YOU IDIOTS! WHEN I GET DOWN FROM HERE, I'LL HAVE PAMPANITO DRAWN AND QUARTERED AND THEN I'LL ARREST THE PIECES!"
"Are you saying Pampanito did this?"
"OF COURSE I MEAN THAT! YOU IDIOTS! NOW GET ME DOWN FROM HERE!"
"No can do, admiral," Nerka replied. "It can't have been Pampanito that did this to you."
"WHADDAYA MEAN 'IT CAN'T BE'?"
"Simple: Pampanito is in the stockade as per your orders, sir. Three destroyers and a squad of marines have been watching her around the clock!" Nerka grinned. "I'm sure they'll all testify to that at the court-martial. Are you sure you weren't sleepwalking?"
"ARE YOU TRYING TO SAY I DID THIS TO MYSELF?"
"We know Pampanito couldn't have done it! She's got witnesses. And with that, I'd hate to think of what would happen to your career sir. It might look like you had a personal grudge against a decorated combat veteran. That wouldn't look too good."
"ALRIGHT! ALRIGHT! TELL THEM TO LET PAMPANITO OUT! JUST GET ME DOWN FROM HERE!"
"You're dropping ALL the charges?"
"All the charges."
"I don't think we heard you, sir."
"YES! YES! ALL THE CHARGES ARE DROPPED!"
"And you'll give Pampanito a formal apology?"
"YES! NOW GET ME DOWN FROM HERE!"
