Anyone trying to compare going to sea in a Navy vessel compared to a small recreational vessel or even the Bounty is really trying to stretch it.

I see Rick's point that not everyone on a Navy ship has even the remotest of navigation, weather, ship handling or even command experience that many recreational and small commercial skippers have.... but they are serving as seaman in an honorable service...(even though not all of them are perfect...)
