The commanding officer of a vessel shall favor the faithful and obedient in granting leave and liberty.
(Aug. 10, 1956, ch. 1041, 70A Stat. 372, § 5949; renumbered § 8169, Pub. L. 115–232, div. A, title VIII, § 807(b)(5), Aug. 13, 2018, 132 Stat. 1834.)
The words “to exercise carefully a discrimination in” are omitted as surplusage. The words “leave and liberty” are substituted for “temporary leave of absence and liberty on shore” to conform to modern terminology.
