The Caine Mutiny "Ahhh, the Strawberries." (BTW, WTF is flash cream? Only war movie I've seen this in)

Enemy Below "He is the Devil, Heimi!"

Bridge over the River Kwai "What have I done?"

Saving Private Ryan "Well, maybe not the captain, but the rest of us got mothers."

The Longest Day "Yeah, our blood, his guts"

Flash cream was to prevent flash burns on exposed skin when the main batteries opened fire.
"Yeah..Our blood, his guts" was actually from 'Patton'

It's sunscreen to protect against the muzzle flash from naval artillery. I think in this case it is used to emphasize Queeg's "careful" nature and "by the book" methods as nearly no one bothered with it and it seems really silly when you consider the small flash from the 3"/50 armament the Caine would likely have mounted. It might also protect from explosions of incoming rounds, but I always thought it was to protect from burns caused by the ship's own guns.
