I served some time on ships with women. There is a lot of stuff that is covered up by the Navy. Affairs are very common and prostitution is kept very quite. While I was on one of the ships they busted 2 female sailors with large amounts of cash in their lockers. I remember one had over $6000 in cash (after only 7 weeks at sea). It was common knowledge among the enlisted and embarked Marines she was the one to see for recreational activities. The only punishment she got was confiscation of the money and no liberty when we made port calls. The Navy hides this due to pressure from the higher ups to make it look like it was the right decision.

The TV Show Carrier on PBS highlighted how some officers have to perform in the role of couples counselors when onboard affairs run amok.

As if the burden of officership wasn’t complex enough.

You cannot throw young men and women together in close quarters and not expect some fireworks.
