This happens every day all over the world. Especially in the middle of the night when most senior leadership is asleep and it’s just on watch junior officers and enlisted.

If you are on surveillance, or loitering somewhere just to be there, you usually have a box assigned to you. What you do in that box is up to you. If it’s 4 am and you are bored, coincidentally your course changes may end up on a chart looking like a penis. The person approving the course changes is like a mid 20s JO just as bored as you are. Doesn’t hurt anyone and most of the time no one ever finds out once the next watch takes over.

Drew many huge dicks on submarine nav plots in my career. Happens all the time. Just like everyone in control quacking when it hits 22:22:22 on the ships clock in control. It’s old school so the 2 digit looks like a duck.

Anything to relieve the boredom and stay awake.
