I can't believe that none of them thought to polish their shaft in preparation for this.

A rusty shaft could easily cause excessive wear and tear on the gland, (or it might be referred to as the 'box' in the Navy?) and the back end would be leaking all over the place. She'd be going down if you didn't watch her.

Actually, I think this refers to a coupling.

Or as George Melly observed, the naval way wasn't wine, women, and song, but rum, bum, and concertina.
