Well you may have been a deck officer on a Navy vessel but I was a
Boswain's Mate. I rang the bell a 1000 times and made several Donkey
dicks for a many clappers.

That makes you an expert on the vessel(s) you were on. It does not make you
an expert beyond the vessel(s) you were on.

As I said before, it may depend on the vessel you were on. Were you ever on
anything in the submarine Navy?

Been aboard many fast attacks(rigging work), no boomers.
