Yes I entered Ships company a few years later my WO use to tell us about the 750's , and Roger that on the non drinkers I did the same we were even aloud to get liberty men to buy there cans before stepping , not bad on a duty night 12 to 18 cans , not to mention the half bottle of rum .
From memory, from my Navy days, the Beer Issue was one large Tinny (26oz/750ml) per day, which cost the princely sum of 20cents, so needles to say when I got onboard a new ship, the first thing on the agenda was to befriend all the non-drinkers, "for obvious reasons" :-)
