Navy ditches bread-and-water confinement option for misbehaving sailors: ‘It’s time for it to go’
More triva is why 1800 style punishment was just removed "Navy bread and water (B&W) punishment recently received a bad rap when a series of articles, both online and in print, were published in which the USS Shiloh (CG-67) was excoriated as a “prison ship.” In one of these, “USS Bread and Water: Old and Rare Punishment Loomed over a Demoralized Crew,” the author reports that the Commanding Officer (CO) awarded the B&W punishment “at least six times according to records.” It is not made clear what those records were. Was it in the CO’s “Punishment Log” where such records are typically kept?"
PS I ate very well almost all of my time in Our Navy

Oh for the days of rum, sodomy, and the lash. Nowadays it is air conditioning, hot meals, and bunks.

And not necessarily in that order, depending on one's personal preferences eh?
But supplying all that & getting to the Tiller Flat would have been a bit of a problem.

But not for the reason you mean. Ya Dirty sod!
Not to mention, to see the Key of the Starboard Watch.
Didn't they drink rum because it had been brewed and so probably contained fewer nasty bacteria than their water?
That's my excuse for drinking beer rather than water.
