And the other Royal Navy tradition: Captains are inviolate commanders, at all times in all settings. They present "serious". They eat and drink separately from the crew. They have only three or four other officers that they ever get to, comparatively, relax with.
So, you have a comedy officer, and you have a captain, and the captain simply looks the other way when the comedy officer is up to their hijinks.
He *knows* the hijinks. He *sees* the hijinks. But he pretends not to.

I'm up on the bridge, with my PC, connected to my three devices, and we're getting close to the ice. Comedy officer comes up to the bridge, and *he* also has a sea-sickness patch. Kids, the icebreaker, as I said, is not tiny. There's no tossing about in the waves. You do not need a seasickness patch. Then he comes back an hour later, and now he's got *two* patches. An hour later, he's got *four* patches. Then he comes to the bridge and his whole jaw is covered with them.
