I knew a dude that worked on a refueling ship out in the pacific. He was on a ship that held thousands of gallons of jet and deisel fuel. He said that his ship would be out in the middle of nowhere and theyd never see land for at least a year, and they wouldn't even see another ship except for every 2-3 months. So they were isolated and they had the stress of knowing they were a high target for the japanese and if they got attacked, they were goners.

after he got out of the navy, he's never set foot on another boat ever since.

Wrong, sir. Although we were in the initial stages of testing the P-59, our first jet fighter, it wasn't operational and certainly wasn't in the PTO. With that said, jet fuel wasn't invented then.
