Seems the Navy has done a lot of things they ordered to disappear
Usually ordered by some high-level officer that wants to avoid the temporary embarrassment or get a small ding on their record, and then the incident is forgotten.
Leaving some underling(s) to bear the burden of a ‘muzzle’ forever, since no one will bother removing the restriction - since they don’t even remember or care anymore.
Navy is probably the worst, but other branches get their participation trophies as well.
