Shit this joke is good.
In this case it’s His Majesty’s Asshole Ship Canberra.
Well, if you can't test your electronic warfare systems against your closest ally, who can you test them on?
Yeah, that’s not very typical. I’d like to make that point.
Well, how is it untypical?
Well, there are a lot of these ships going around the world all the time, and very seldom does anything like this happen. I just don’t want people thinking that flagships aren’t safe.
What about the harm to the environment?
Well, the ship's navigation radar has been tuned outside the spectrum.

Time to bring back the 'Feel the Power of Canberra' licence plate slogan!
It's a real reminder to consider edge cases when designing systems though - if you're using frequencies reserved for radar there should really have been a fallback option for when someone actually shows up and uses their radar...
