Haha, you'd think the tour guide would ring a bell or yell a warning before entering any living areas of the ship.

In Job Corps when the opposite gender entered a dorm, they had to announce it with a shout. That way anyone feeling they may get exposed have warning they're about to be within sights. It was a bit crude, but it could have solved this problem.

When I was in cadets, away at summer camp, the phrasing was almost exclusively announced as

" female on the male tent line" or "female on deck"

Due to numbers. Because we were kids, but in a (semi)serious military situation someone would always yell "with male on top" or similar

They do. It starts with a 1MC announcement to the entire boat that goes something along the lines of "rig ship for visitors".

It's usually an announcement, "Rig ship for lady visitors. Lady visitors will be onboard until further notice." And requires OOD permission to bring them onboard. And the area OP ran into them was a public passage way.

Damn shipmate. Don't they usually give y'all submariners a heads up if y'all get visitors?

I couldn’t imagine being on a sub. Y’all are too comfortable with each other to where having to secure your dangly bits is even an issue. Lol

You wouldn’t believe how much they let the crew know about visitors coming aboard while at sea.

I’m one of those shore sailors. I’ve never been on a ship so I wouldn’t know.

I thought the same thing. When the seawolf class boats were in Yoko, it wasn't up for discussion about anyone going aboard. In Norfolk, they're giving tours? WTH?! I was gypped!

Oh boy! Guess he forgot to yell "FEMALE ON DECK!" Coulda saved a little embarrassment. Good news is, unless you look weird down there, its all more or less the same.

Every time I brought someone on, it was a learning experience for them. There is so much that is unique about a ship, or boat, when compared to what most folks consider normal.

In your case, sounds like they learned a little more than they were expecting ;)

As a kid I used to go visit the submarine my dad was on all the time. I got to eat in the officer’s mess a lot, but I never had dinner AND a show.

Mehh, that's the risk a family takes coming aboard. Granted you should have heard the 1MC but it sounds like a good laugh is all that happened.

My boat had an EM giving his wife a tour. I was in ML head washing my hands fully dressed when they walked in. I gasped very loudly and said "SOMEONE'S IN HERE!" as I covered my already well covered nipples. His wife covered her eyes and backed out as fast as she could while I was laughing. Her husband called me an asshole.

Considering ALLL the old ships, subs, and other military things you can tour: Why would they allow tours on an active ship?

a_karma_sardine t1_ixa7kzo wrote

Public relations. Allowing public access, within reason and regulations, is good for showing that tax money is well spent. Family members of the crew are especially welcome.

Pretty much. Poor people never came to my boat for tours, but I can think of many celebrities

It literally isn't a ship tho? The navy calls them boats. Since they kinda invented them, the get to name them

> I’m on an all male crew so there’s not a whole lot of modesty between the crew.

I'm sorry, but this logic just doesn't check out. You mean you want a bunch of other dudes just seeing your junk? I didn't even change in front of other dudes in school. Fuck that business.

futureruler t1_ixago6i wrote

You get real comfortable. Hell, quite a few of us went around grabbing each other's nuts. Submariners usually get their first male to male kiss in a game of chicken. You really stop thinking of "gay" as "liking things up your butt" to "yep, I'm not attracted to men"....which is how it should be anyway tbh

Not wanting random people to see my dick is homophobia?

Make it make sense.

No really.

aidan8et t1_ixjadiy wrote

Generally a fear of locker room nudity boils down to 1 of 2 issues: fear of being judged (low self-esteem or body image), or fear of someone "losing control" at the sight of you (homophobia).

So you either are afraid of someone sexually assaulting you, or you think your penis is tiny. Either way, here's a secret: No one cares. Just don't go swinging your junk in someone's face.

InfiniteArrival t1_ixd4dll wrote

Never been on a submarine but I've deployed on surface ships. Sleeping stacked 3 high with several hundred men at a time is a bit of a shock at first but then you realize it's actually more difficult to maintain some modesty.

Sorry you're so uncomfortable about your body bro. It's just a penis.
