"I think that Horatio Hornblower would have viewed all this with a rather stern and sceptical eye. "Not fitting of the Queen's forces," he'd say. "Undignified in the extreme. Disgusting, in fact. Put that man to work at once cleaning out the bilges." (Little Hawk)

Not in the least Little Hawk - There was a pipe-call for "Hands to skylark and dance" in the Royal Navy of Nelson's time, in which the antics as shown in the clip would not have been out of place at all.

One thing is for certain, you would not be best advised to try any of it on the flight deck of a carrier (crowded, noisy and very dangerous).
