1. I don't believe that at all ...
Having a more than passing familiarity with Navy ships including those currently commissioned and many that have been de-commissioned, I do not elieve this. We have no ships designed for that purpose. Brig space is teeny-tiny on the ships that even have brigs and these sorts of folk would not be brought aboard to wander around.

3. operated by a Halliburton Subsidiary, no doubt.
Who can say? But not Navy ships. They're just not designed for that kind of shit.
