Absolutely agreed!
In my mis-spent youth I spent 21 years wandering the seven seas on big
haze-grey boats with hull numbers like DD-762, AOR-4, and CVA-59. Hardly a
"wealthy yachtsman", and my shipmates were grateful for the use of 14.313
to chat with wives/parents/children/etc while on long deployments.
