Yep, if they willfully engage in behavior that puts their ship or crew in a less than combat ready status, punish them, don't reward them. You keep "rewarding" this kind of willful negligence and you'll keep getting more of it.
Same as the fella (he'd been warned) who got drunk and fell asleep on the beach and ended up with a sun burn so bad it resulted in "sun poisoning". Couldn't work for weeks as a result. He rec'd an Article 15 NJP, reduction in rank, loss of pay and 15 days confinement.
