(a) Except as may be authorized by the Secretary of the Navy, the introduction, possession or use of alcoholic liquors for beverage purposes on board any ship, craft, aircraft, or in any vehicle of the Department of the Navy is prohibited. The transportation of alcoholic liquors for personal use ashore is authorized, subject to the discretion of the officer in command or officer in charge, or higher authority, when the liquors are delivered to the custody of the officer in command or officer in charge of the ship, craft, or aircraft in sealed packages, securely packed, properly marked and in compliance with customs laws and regulations, and stored in securely locked compartments, and the transportation can be performed without undue interference with the work or duties of the ship, craft, or aircraft. Whenever alcoholic liquor is brought on board any ship, craft, or aircraft for transportation for personal use ashore, the person who brings it on board shall at that time file with the officer in command or officer in charge of the ship, craft, or aircraft, a statement of the quantity and kind of alcoholic liquor brought on board by him, together with his certification that its importation will be in compliance with customs and internal revenue laws and regulations and applicable State or local laws at the place of debarkation.

(b) The introduction, possession, and use of alcoholic liquors for beverage purposes or for sale is authorized within naval activities and other places ashore under naval jurisdiction, to the extent and in such manner as the Secretary of the Navy may prescribe.
