    Nah, it’s the just U.S. Navy. I served on a submarine and my first month aboard I was instructed to paint the boat. We were given a boat just like this one along with a bucket. One guy paints while the other bails out water.

    Is it an exercise or are their dinghies just shit

    Not an exercise. These are deck seamen, probably undesignated, meaning they don't have an assigned job other than being deck departments bitch, which means they're the ones that get to use a needlegun to get old paint off and put new paint on, as warships ships need constant repainting. You can see all the specks of paint on his boots.

    There's could be many different reasons why this dinghy is just shit, but they aren't all like that. My guess is, since it works good enough with one guy bailing water out, no one has bothered to replace or repair it, just isn't high enough priority for something they barely use relatively. Hell, might just be these two and their immediate superior who even knows it's like that

    He'll be real sorry once his side of the boat sinks while the other guy survives smh.

    The need to bail out the small boat is probably due to the wake of the water hitting the big boat. If both guys were bailing they'd probably become unbalanced and have bigger problems than they did. And no buckets.
