In a way perhaps, but crewman had things to do to keep their mind off the monotony. In a sense ignoring events around them. Or lack of events thereof. Writing letters, keeping journals, etc. In the book "Iron Coffins" the auther tells of buying books in port to read in off-duty hours.

If you really want to experience the boredom and idleness, don't read a book, don't listen to the radio, don't do anything but sit and stare at the screen, for hours on end
