Indeed, as in ‘Back in the day’, a miscreant aboard ship that had roaming hands or sticky fingers, may experience ‘falling up a ladder’ on the way to a ‘crew assisted shower’ prior meeting the Captain, with the answer “SIR! he fell up the ladder while we were escorting him to the MAA Office” when questioned about the obvious bruises.
First time offenders usually didn’t get ‘phase 2’ and, as a result, there weren’t a whole lot of 2nd offenders, just the real hard core— And by the time ‘they’ got to the Captain, the subject was pretty much of a lost cause.
Like it or not, Deck Plate Justice had its place at Sea, along with such grand traditions (long since eradicated) as “Crossing the Equator”, attaining the rank of Chief Petty Officer, etc etc .....

And I bet that will be the last time Tyrone tries to stab a Marine. Sounds like he received some “street justice”.
