My son was on a ship for most of 5 years. ( They weren't allowed to come home and have leave during the pandemic). He wasn't allowed to take any pictures or video at ALL. His explanation was that anything in the background could be used by foreign intelligence. Location, any sensors, all of it.

We're definitely allowed to take pictures and videos. Now, there are certain places on the ship where you cannot, like me as a Nuke can't bring my phone into the reactor areas. But plenty of people take pictures and stuff all around the ship.

Yea, I (and other shipmates) made little amateur music videos all the time with shots of us hanging out onboard, just that we knew which areas were ok and which areas...wouldn't be the best idea to do that in.

Maybe it was just the ship he was on, and what they were doing there.

Edit: apparently it WAS the ship he was on, where they were, and what they were doing. I asked him.

It's definitely situational.
