The only combat I experienced in the Navy was getting caught in the middle of a pool ball fight in a bar in Rota, Spain.
Found a safe place under the table.

Ha! Assigned to Shore Patrol duty in Rota, I was probably the guy who was called in to break it up. I experienced a lot of outchies when the Enlisted Club closed at night. The worse was a huge Marine who wouldn't accept no, and took 5 of us to take him down. Lots of scrapes and bruises from that one. We even had to shackle his feet after one SP got kicked un-conscience.
