UCMJ is hilarious. Turns out you have to apply the law for it to mean anything.
I've seen a lot of shit that applies that never goes beyond the PL. Military is very "good old boys" when it wants to be.

I served in peace time so my experience my well be an apples and dynamite comparison. But I completely agree with Chomp's statement here. My opinion of how the UCMJ was utilized was it depended on how the Navy would benefit or not from the action. Justice rarely had anything to do with it.
Research or google USS Iowa explosion for more info.
