Good, the USN needs sailors to man the ships on the seven seas, not to have a chorus to sing at a high school.

The ships aren't deploying either. This means we've got a bunch of sailors sitting around their workspaces playing spades. Maybe they could go sing at high schools?

I think it is more like a bunch of sailors that get a chance for more liberty and time with their families.
