I once worked with a guy who was on a submarine in the Navy, and apparently the antics they get up to were pretty fucking wild. They love shoving shit up each others asses for some reason
I imagine submarines are more strict about toilet related antics though, but this is a carrier so way bigger with more and less disciplined people.
This didn’t happen on any other ship. Mutinies are like on that one destroyer whose captain drove it full speed into a busy shipping lane and got rammed by a cargo ship. The investigation afterwards revealed that they were rarely on the bridge and did not train their sailors properly. The crew tried filing complaints up the chain of command like they were supposed to but got ignored. The captain had been to Annapolis, see? They all stick together. Class consciousness, but in the wrong kind of way.
I think people fuck around and get bored and do stupid nonsense when they’re at sea for long stretches.
Doubly so for the military where it’s all 20-somethings who barely graduated high school doing weird hazing shit to one another.
