When I lived in Naples there would be people feeding alligators right next to the big sign saying, 'Do NOT Feed the Alligators'.

The problem is that once they start getting feed, the next person that comes along and doesn't feed them pisses them off... and it's easy to tell when they are pissed off, they get really aggressive.

Like a car salesman on Labor Day, only with bigger teeth.

FOR YOUR EDUCATION:
AI Overview Yes, surface rust is completely normal for U.S. Navy ships on extended deployments "Navy officials say surface corrosion is expected after such an unusually long deployment and does not by itself mean the ship is mechanically unsafe or incapable of fighting."

Why Rust Happens at Sea
Constant saltwater exposure: Ocean spray, high humidity, and crashing waves relentlessly attack the steel hull "Spending months at sea exposes them to saltwater and humidity." [-- [TikTok].]Running rust: Engine vibrations and hull flexing crack the paint, allowing surface oxidation to mix with condensation and streak down the sides "The dramatic orange and brown marks you see on Navy ships are caused by a phenomenon known as 'running rust.'" [-- [Quora].]Cosmetic vs. structural: These visible orange streaks look alarming, but they are purely superficial and do not threaten the actual structural strength of the ship's thick steel armor "While it looks terrible, the thick steel plates of a warship do not dissolve overnight. Running rust rarely impacts structural integrity or combat capability." [-- [Quora].]Operational and Environmental LimitsNo mid-ocean painting: Modern environmental and safety rules heavily restrict scraping and painting hulls while underway to prevent toxic paint flakes from entering the ocean "Environmental regulations... largely ban traditional at-sea maintenance practices." [-- [YouTube].]High operational tempo: Extended missions mean crews focus entirely on combat readiness and operations rather than cosmetic upkeep "Sailors on deployment are focused on the mission not on sanding or painting a ship."
