Like the captain is going to admit he was banging an 18yo enlisted female
Having had to deal with a crewmember being rendered useless for over 6 months and having to pick up the slack (after her already being less useful because of her lack of upper body strength), I do not have any sympathy for them. We are talking about the military, not a cashier at Claire's.

Modern warships are not built in short order. Lose a carrier, it will take 4+ years to replace it. Destroyer? 1.5+ years. The days of building a ship in a few weeks are gone.
As crews get smaller, their ability to repair issues goes down, their ability to fight fires goes down, there ability to perform structural DC goes down.
