Back on the boat and back in the galley.

Figuring out how to enjoy wiping tables, we find Bob rubbing his knee on a 1000-pound bomb. We learn more about his personal life as he notes that a sailor -- who, with the help of three others, "gay-bashed" him at Mission Beach -- has begun pointing him out to other sailors. They might be planning to throw him overboard.

Bob questions whether urinalysis causes exhibitionism. He’s not the only sailor getting loony about sexuality on a ship with no women. A big black fellow comes on to a skinny white guy: black guy throws white guy a Snickers. The reward is a simulated blow job on a broomstick in the lounge.

Ranger pulls into port four hours to fix the radar, then back out, pissing everyone off and bringing to Bob more threats of violence, as frustrated young men seek outlets for their anger. Meanwhile, back in Wolfpack, Bob's chain of command uses his refrigerator for their sodas -- until he sells it to royally piss them off.

A MAN OVERBOARD drill shows just how easy it would be for a sailor to kill or be killed: just hit the water and wait 15 minutes.

Sweet Pea stops to dine but gets called to another table by a supervisor -- it hurts Bob to the core. Graham’s not the only man attracted to this kid so you wonder what it will be like, a few months underway. Everybody is getting the "Westpac Itch".

Back at the beach, Graham’s stolen Toyota has been recovered and sold while he was serving his country. Louie shoots junk in Graham’s bathroom.

Graham and his Filipino boss, the PNC, go head to head with their boss, Yeoman Senior Chief, in the CO’s office: “I just want him to quit speaking Tagalog when he’s talking business on the phone.”

But YNCS warns, “I see murder in your eyes. And I don’t want to see it again.”
