There's this guy on another forum I frequent that was in the Navy. He is also a great writer. He has told some fantastic stories.
One was how they convinced a deck officer upon refueling from a tanker that he needed to get the ships credit card to pay for the fuel.
There's another fantastic story of how he used to flop down on a big "bean bag chair" made up of old rags to read comic books. One day he got to looking at the rags and his comic book and decided to make up his own superhero costume. He became "Captain Neutron" complete with mask and a big N on his chest. He stormed into the officer's wardroom yelling "I claim this ship for Captain Neutron" or some such and ran out the opposite door to disappear. Shortly thereafter the "repel intruders" alarm went off and everything went ape ****. He hid the costume in a torpedo tube. Some time later someone was doing torpedo firing drills and launched Captain Neutron's costume into the bay.
OK, had to go find the thread. Here you go. Try not to cry while laughing:
