I believe they do have both internet and email, but like all things, when you are in a critical readiness state or there is a condition of radio silence, I'm sure access is limited. After all, we always knew our schedule when we were at sea, but there was nothing to stop us from telling someone or making a telephone call when we were in some foreign port. We were given security briefings and told what we should and should not do. Except in rare instances, that was sufficient. Honestly, on a ship with 400 men, you have to trust every one of them to be a good sailor. I guess that's why shipmates were and are a closely knit group. /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif
