On a ship 'defending' Vancouver Island.

Yeah. Way to devastate the Soviets and defend North America. From almost literally as far away as possible. There was literally a continent between you and this conflict.

Just because you were on a boat somewhere while it was happening doesnt constitute 'participation.'

Anyways, I digress. just harmless little jokes. I know our Armed Forces do the best they can with the limited support our Government gives them.

Mocking the Navy is always fair game, don't want to be mocked don't join the Navy.

Master Seaman & Leading Seaman are silly rank names
