I spent about four years on frigates and we were always having punchups both at sea and on shore runs. Mainly alcohol fuelled shore runs but not always the case (our navy wasn't a dry navy). As for the crew performance during periods of extremely low morale I'm not sure. I was lucky enough to spend 6 days flying home in a C130 Hercules and make it home for christmas when my shipmates didnt get back until Febuary (Persian gulf Deployment).
