36 Women Pregnant Aboard a Navy Ship That Served in Gulf

SAN DIEGO, April 29— Thirty-six crew members of the supply ship Acadia were pregnant and had to be transferred during the ship’s deployment to the Persian Gulf, naval officials say.

More than half became pregnant after the ship was under way, but a Navy spokesman, Lieut. Comdr. Jeff Smallwood, said there were no indications of improper fraternization between men and women on the ship.

“These women have a right to get pregnant,” Commander Smallwood said. “The conclusion somebody is jumping to is that the Acadia is a love boat, and that’s not the case.”

Hmm.. how is there not any improper fraternization? I don't think the Navy really allows random sex aboard their boats, and I'm sure they didn't have 36 married couples all assigned to the same ship.
