What use is a jinba on a ship?

[Though she had listened to it all, that answer comes before anything else, practical and simple. What she knew about the navy was all ocean and boats, and though jinba were hardly rendered completely useless on a deck… they were nowhere near as well utilized as they were on plain or mountain. She had never even seen the sea in her own world… and she never would, even if Meridian managed victory and restored their worlds. This village… it was deep in the heart of the mountains. She would die allowing the inhabitants to escape… or she would survive to protect it.

… That was it. (Right?)

I am not some… some crusader who chose to protect this place out of goodness.
