They will not give you any serious problems, IF you declare them when asked, AND have a BONDABLE Customs Locker for them, secured aboard. It is just when they can't be BONDED and secured that these folks get really pissed off. Notice they never mess with any "Man of War" type ships that are just filled with small arms. It is because all these weapons are in BONDABLE Lockers.
All my time at sea on US Navy warships the only customs I ever saw on board were American Customs and that was in the 1980's. The entire time I was on the Los Angeles (SSN-688) we were never once visited by anyone from customs at any port we pulled into, unless it was done in secret and it is pretty hard to keep secrets from guys standing watch in the Control Room.

also it is the Policy of the US Government that SSN's never dock, outside a US Naval Facility, without National Command Authority Approval. When docked at a US Naval Facility in another country, their Customs Officials wouldn't have access to the SSN inside the Base, without specific Treaty Language on Base Leases. I am not aware of any Base Lease Treaty Language, that would allow a Customs Official inside a US Base in another country.

There's better evidence for an excess ratio of girls born to fighter pilots. Male germ lines are a little more fragile.

He was a missile man, wherever that put him in the boat. And it sounds like they wore very little, lead or otherwise, while out to sea.
