Chip, thank you for this video it was very interesting even though it was done with lame low budget special effects. What does it mean when you lose a thousand points this is referring to the officer of the deck who was court-martialed. He lost his career right? He got a Admirals letter of reprimand wouldn't that be enough to kick him out of the Navy? Be understanding I'm an army guy trying to learn Navy language and navy disciplinary actions that may be part of the army UCMJ but this is the first time I hear about it.

When did beards become allowed and when did they go away? Did the Australians have too much grog?

"Throughout the 1970s, more restrictions were placed on hair and beards. In 1981, CNO Adm. Thomas Hayward sought to institute “Pride in Professionalism” by tightening regulations even further. No one under the rank of petty officer 3rd class was permitted to have a beard, nor were officers of “special authority or highly visible positions.”
The razor finally dropped in 1984 when CNO Adm. James D. Watkins banned all beards. The concern that a sailor with a beard would not be able to gain a proper seals with his emergency breathing apparatus frequently was given as the reason. However, the blunt-speaking Secretary John Lehman said that it was simply due to aesthetics. Lehman said that master chiefs had been complaining that beards made the Navy look “extremely un-uniform” so it was decided that having clean-shaven sailors would bring “a general sharpening of appearance.” Moustaches were allowed, but could not extend beyond the upper lip line".
