@ai6yr Ah the more things stay the same the more things stay the same. They did this in WWII it was called padding and it just added stuff to the beginning and end of a message to make decryption harder and inject nonsense that could mean something or nothing
It also can cause butt hurt feelings as evidenced by this message " TURKEY TROTS TO WATER GG FROM CINCPAC ACTION COM THIRD FLEET INFO COMINCH CTF SEVENTY-SEVEN X WHERE IS RPT WHERE IS TASK FORCE THIRTY FOUR RR THE WORLD WONDERS"
The radioman aboard his flagship the USS New Jersey failed to strip off the padding Halsey who was decoyed away by aircraft-less carriers of the IJN and left Taffy 3 to its heroic fate in the Battle Off Samar facing down Kuritas Center Force, apparently took the "The world wonders" as a rebuke.
In what may be the greatest surface battle of the #USN Taffy 3 protected the invasion beachheads with destroyers, light carriers and escort against multiple battleships and cruisers including the Yamato
