It took their mind off the abstinence, I imagine?

You've obviously never been aboard an old destroyer. Fifty men sleeping
in bunks stacked four high, no privacy and if you're caught wanking you
get Captain's Mast. Lots easier just to wait for shore leave.

Not much abstinence in that bunch. The two ships I served on were in and
outers. Leave port at 0700 back at 1600, running anti-submarine
exercises. Sometimes out for a week, once or twice for a month or more.
Peace time stuff training to fight the Evil Empire.
