Do not depend on forums or “answer” websites for good gouge. An angler asked the question to Cha-Cha if he/she can fish from a Navy ship:
Q: If you are in the navy can you fish on your the boat?
A: No, you can not fish from the vessel that you are stationed on while in the United States Navy. Thanks for asking ChaCha and enjoy your day!
Ah, this is not true. I won’t say which ship, but naval vessels have been known to allow a line or two in the water.
It’s called deep-water hydrostatic testing.
My skipper allowed fishing occasionally. It was called environmental testing.
