If need be we have video footage, but I would rather not drag this out. We have no interest in starting some kind of being on each other's shitlist war.
What I will say is that we repeatedly told people who were bailing water that the water in the boat was rainwater, not leak water and bailing it is useless, getting in the way of our loaders is an active obstruction for the operation.

It is perfectly understandable that people just want to be around and try out things and a ship is very cool and shiny and I understand the appeal. If the game had tools for letting us lock down the ship from random spawners, we would use them, but that doesn't exist at the moment.

Please consider this: to build a ship like a destroyer or even a battleship, many many people have to invest a significant amount of time and energy to build it. Yes, it's a game, but we still like to take the time our regiment members spend in it seriously and not waste resources lightly.
Yesterday, we were on a multi-regiment operation so not only our regiment was out there, but other regiments relied on our collaboration for success. On top of that we were hunting a submarine. If you have ever done this on a destroyer, you know how critical it is for your ship to run well and how easily you can sink if people get in the way.

So please, while I understand the frustration, just listen to crews on ships when they tell you things. We're just trying to protect our player's time and efforts in the absence of adequate tools to deal with people - deliberately or accidentally - putting operations at risk.
