Is "sailor/pirate buddies" a euphemism for 'gay lovers'?
Young men, all that time away from sea with few or no girls, it seems only natural that relationships would form. Homosexuality was punishible by death in the British Navy at one point - was it Churchill who described the Navy using the phrase "rum, sodomy and the lash"? |

I served in the USN. I think the gay rumors started because of the cracker jack uniforms. I can tell you the only gay man I ever met in the Navy was in basic training and he got booted out. There were a lot of gay women though.
