Today the U.S.S. New York, LPD-21,  set sail from New Orleans, her birth place, to New York City. She is composed of over 7000 tons of steel reclaimed from Ground Zero. They probably do not have a grog ration aboard!

Having been in the Navy for 15+ years (active and reserve) I can sorrily report - no. At least nothing legal. We now use chemicals to sterilize the drinking water and they call this advancement....

I've been following the USS New York for some time. I have a project where I have a flag from my active duty ship that flew during Desert Storm. I sent/take it to various sites, ships and monuments to be flown. So far it's been to about 40 some. One day I hope to add the New York to that list.
