Don't think so. And I don't think it did much good in real life, either.

Who else is going to keep the crabs under control once you get out to sea? Full boat full of sailors that usually had a large amount of leave after returning from patrol are gonna run into some kinda std. Personal hygene wasn't on the top of the list, one of the medics jobs was to try and keep bugs like the crabs or lice to the rest of the crew. Such cramped quarters any kind of major sickness would also be a problem (like malaria) and would need someone there that would know at least how to treat it/able to isolate him such that the rest of the crew didn't catch the disease.

...and again we come to the captain or medical officer pulling out his sidearm! This seems to be a trend in this thread!
