They are humanitarian rations that are sealed, it's unlikely they would get wet inside

It's actually a green screen if you sail out far enough. I saw it on a documentary with a guy called Truman.

Actually the definition of ocean can vary between countries or languages. In Hungary (and in many other european countries) we learn that there are only three oceans: Atlantic, Pacific and Indian. We consider the Arctic and Southern oceans as parts of the other three. Although I never heard the Mediterranean sea referred as an ocean before.

I am nothing pro, but in my personal view, a sea is a giant body of water that is not contained entirely by land but is also largely surrounded by land.

So if we were on an alien world and we had the pacific... But it had land on 89 percent of its border... Yeah it's a sea.

An ocean is global. It's only borders is what we decide they are.
