The squid is shooting at the ocean. This is one level below the clown at the range that mag dumps. At least there's a target down range.
Now for the reality of what was happening.
The ship has a line item in their budget for ammo. If they don't continuously order ammo the item is removed from the budget. The Capt says that it's a moral booster for the squids to shoot up the ocean and a necessity for the ship. It's just an endless circle of taxpayers money being wasted.
Make sure he’s got his bubblegum and give him a refresher on the best umpire curses

Never underestimate the the ability of .gov to waste the maximum amount of money.
I tend to think they spent money on something to throw out there to shoot at.
Very expensive floating targets.
Do they still sell "Big League Chew" shredded Bubblegum?
Or was that thought to hook kids on RedMan?
Because that stuff was awesome!

PS... Why yes! Yes they do still sell it! Not every thing in the world has gone full-retard!
"Big League Chew is an American brand of bubble gum that was created by Portland Mavericks left-handed pitcher Rob Nelson and bat boy and future filmmaker Todd Field.[1] It was then pitched to the Wrigley Company (longtime owners of the Chicago Cubs) by fellow Maverick and former New York Yankee All-Star Jim Bouton as a healthy imitation of the tobacco-chewing habit common among ballplayers in the 1970s. Big League Chew was introduced in May 1980, in the traditional pink color already seen in established brands of bubble gum. The cartoon-style packaging, originally designed by artist Bill Mayer, comes in colors such as neon green (sour apple) and bright purple (grape). The original shredded R&D concept samples of the product were produced by running standard sheets of bubble gum through an office paper shredder."
I recall it being wildly popular in my little league days decades ago, along with the candy cigarettes. Both of which were sold at the concession stand of said games.

Also rules... this was a staple of those concession sales too come to think of it...

^^^ That's what I loved! Bazooka Joe and bad comics, too!
All the old candies are still available, but some of the more obscure ones are only sold at candy stores.
I have to look up "Warheads." Those were always my favorite. I'd keep them on my desk and loved to see the reaction of folks who tried them... and were unsuspecting! Best sour's ever!

I like those too. If there’s no real candy store near you the big online place that rhymes with schmamazon will have em
"Jerky Stuff", shredded beef jerky sold in a plastic snuff box
u
Atomic Fireballs too!
I remember that too.
My wife found me a grown-up jerky novelty for Valentine’s Day that’s shaped like little hearts, called Meat Hearts. They were very mediocre but I appreciate the sentiment
banana flavored Now & Laters
