That quiet dignity goes with the tailored suits (possibly pinstripes?) and ties that some of the merchant seamen are wearing, along with those who are nattily dressed in white shirts and ties, jackets, (maybe) corduroy trousers and sneakers. They are a model of how to dress when working on a merchant ship.


That said, I do find the way that the gun crews stick to their guns, even when the bows or sterns of the ships might be perpendicular to the water, is a little bit unrealistic.
