As lay eucharistic minister, did you ever get to preside over a
wedding? Or give last rites? Or raise the dead?

Only a priest can perform the sacraments.

Does that include performing a service of burial and/or last rites?
I mean, I guess it does, but that causes me to wonder how burials at
sea were/are handled when a priest isn't on the ship.

Burials at sea don't happen anymore except by special arrangement and
request. Last rites (extreme unction as it was once known) can only
be performed by a priest. "Back in the day", I assume that any last
rites performed on Catholic sailors buried at sea were done
symbolically ex post facto since they could not maintain the dead
body on the ship. And I'm sure there were few priests that went to
sea... maybe a few on occasion in the Spanish, French, Italian, or
Portuguese navies, but none, I feel safe to say, in the American
Navy, and positively none in the British Navy.

If a crewmember died in an accident on the Yorktown while you were
sixteen hundred nautical miles south of Eniwetok, for example, would
you have frozen him and meanwhile contacted his next of kin to inform
them of the sad news, etc. etc.? If the next of kin (let's say a
distant uncle, the crewmember otherwise being orphaned and with no
spouse or offspring) said "bury him at sea" you'd have stuck him in a
body bag, weighted him down, and slid him off the fantail?

You don't slide'em off the fantail.

What are you? Stupid or somethin'?


Yeah.

So what do you slide 'em off?
