No, because once the seamen are discharged, they are no longer confined to base, and may use their shore leave to wander where they will But if one of those Jolly Jack Tars, returns late, you can hear the shouts of his fellow Sailors rebuking him, as he approaches the gates, "Eh Jack, you're late"!

Here's the thing with puns.  Generally, you want your words to be homonyms or pretty close.  Marley and Marlin are kinda close, but not close enough.  Moreover, again, its a continuity thing.  It doesn't really make much sense to exchange Marley with Marlin, because it is a surname.  See, replacing Wailers for Whalers works because it is a homonym, AND, it provides some satirical commentary on the fact that Japan are notorious whalers.  When your puns get too nonsensical, they lose their punch.

But I don't want to punch anyone with my puns, I want them to stink. I knew "Marlin" was dead in the water anyway, but have you ever smelled a dead Marlin?

Whether in the water, or out, it's stink, as a pun, has nothing on the stink IRL. But I included it anyway, if only to add a little Pungency. IMO, even though it's etymological source was Puny, it was almost Pungent enough to work. I was going to try and work the Way Ling smell  (when dead) but the idea didn't linger long enough to develop stink. I've had a little time now, and the association with Whaling, is starting to find a little Porpoise, and rattle around a little in my head, so I'm going to "Stir it up" a little, to sea what happens. So "Call me Fishmael (Fishmeal?)" And watch this space.
