Shipmate Discount

When 2 or more sailors go out on liberty in a foreign port and the drunkest sailor buys the hookers and in the morning realizes how much he spent and asks his buddies for some of the money back. Never all of it.
Jay got hammered last night in Hong Kong and bought us all hookers. Then he had the nerve to ask for some money the next morning saying he was giving us the shipmate discount.

shipmatesmanship 

To execute your daily duties in the US Navy without screwing over your buddy's and/or shipmates. Can be used sarcastically in most any situation.
Pro: And I quote "AT2 Silkworth displayed good shipmatesmanship by cleaning up all the crap that her LPO threw on the shop floor."

Con: "AT1 Walkup displayed poor shipmatesmanship when he threw crap all over the floor."
Two people or characters who are shipped together by people or social media users but have no real interest in each other and will never actually get together.
Tyler: Why do people keep shipping me and Kyle together? I don't even talk to him that much.

Jack: So, you two are shipmates?
