I don't know if this counts, but I had some dental work done on the USS Cleveland LPD-7 while it stopped in the Eniwetok Atoll, Marshall Islands when I was doing radioactive cleanup work in 1978. The radiation could get into your bones thru your teeth or something. Good times partying with those swabbies! No offense intended of course, I was Army.
