United States Navy (USN): Do modern naval vessels still have to contend with rats aboard?
I'm curious to know if modern naval vessels still have to deal with rats aboard like they did in the past?
That's a great question. While modern naval vessels are much more advanced than their earlier counterparts, rats can still be a problem for the crews. However, rat infestations are much less common nowadays due to improved hygiene, better food storage and waste management systems, as well as pest control measures that are routinely carried out on board these ships.
