Some years ago the Royal Navy and the US Navy were taking part in a joint exercise when one RN ship went to refuel with a US ship. The captain of the RN ship got a message from his admiral as to why he was using a US ship and replied that they gave Green Shield Stamps.

@AdamMGTF In the UK and America when you bought petrol, gas in the US, you were giving stamps which could be exchanged for items in a catalogue. Things like drinking glasses and such. In the US the were called Green Stamps and when the idea came to the UK the were called Green Shield stamps. They were normally given out with each gallon of petrol, so you can imagine how many you would get if you filled a warships fuel tanks.
