This dose of reality turned out to be much more horrific than what I expected when I asked the question. He probably would have preferred the brig LOL. Thanks for that interesting answer!

At 2:06, the shore leave shenanigans leaves the British Tar with an STD during the period of US Prohibition (1920-1933). The poor fellow would not get a shot of penicillin because while Flemming discovered the chemical in 1928, and there is rare use by 1930 of eye drops, production sufficient for clinical use against STDs does not take place until 1942. If he hadn't been issued a condom and used it (standard procedure for the British), he likely would have gotten his urethra irrigated with potassium permangenate and intravenous methyl mechurochrome for 90 days. Sulfa becomes available in 1937. The US did not issue condoms and when the US Navy issued General Order #69 in 1924 and decided to court-martial any sailor with gonorrhea, the attack rate doubled! This wasn't revoked and replaced with a prevention program until 1937: Rule of Electricity: keep rubber on your tools and you won't get burned.

The numbering on this post title is wrong. (293?) On YT is correct however.
