No, I don't know about holding a small bottle in front of me.... unless you're talking about a "sample."
I remember being with a group of people when we were in the dispensary for our physicals, having passed the apprenticeship tests. A nurse came out and handed each one of us a small bottle and told us to fill it up. Some of us started walking to the bathroom but the majority of people just "whipped it out" and started filling the bottles while standing in the hallway.

But I don't recall anybody even interested in what the hull cross-section would look like.

It was pretty interesting to see how tough it was to sink the ex-USS Belleau Wood in the SinkEx a while back. I'd like to see hull designs that might hold up against the Mark (whatever) torpedos that explode under the keel.
