The wonder of this kind of thing is that there is no doubt some amazingly good reason for it.

Agreed 100%, no different here in our Navy.

For now, my answer would be "Because the Queen *wishes* it to be so..."

(and apparently she does *not* wish you to have the clap, either....)

Past all of that, there's good stuff to be had in the book. The actual printed version is a good reference.

I've got another gem, from EBay: "A Trawler Captains Medical Reference". It's circa 1926, and is the book taken aboard by the old North Sea trawlers. All I can say is.... you didn't want to get hurt out there. Instructions for field amputation aboard a trawler... well, I guess at least they had lots of sharp knives. Hiden in all of it are some real tidbits though.
