Especially considering what Sailors get up to in their racks between watches.
Edit: This is what my berthing looked like aboard US Navy Destroyers. This isn’t my actual berthing, just an image grabbed from the web. One thing which the picture does not show is that there are identical racks on the other side of the bulkhead, which is just a thin sheet of metal separating your body from your Shipmate’s. That cool metal would get suddenly warm, letting you know your ass was millimeters away from another guy’s ass. The best of times.
