Well of course it is.

Long story short, tradition hereabouts is to blame any problems on "Bernard" - he's the guy on the crew who can't do anything right.

If your torpedoes are all duds, it's because Bernard was your chief torpedo mate.

If the deck gun crew can't hit the broad side of a barn at 400m, it's because Bernard is either firing the thing himself or was in charge of maintaining the weapon (or both).

If a destroyer manages to sneak up behind you while you're watching that burning tanker go down, it's because Bernard was the watch officer on duty.

And if you find yourself sailing off the coast of Africa when you should be off the coast of Germany... well, you guessed it. Navigator Bernard, at your service!
