I was talking to another commenter about this, but here is an article about the NZ navy mutiny, for your consideration.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/1947_Royal_New_Zealand_Navy_mutinies
Essentially a strike over pay and conditions, rather than what we would typically have in mind when talking about a mutiny.
Wait what would we normally have in mind? I thought mutinies were almost always about conditions.
What comes to mind is a first mate making the captain walk the plank at cutlass-point and taking over as pirate captain 🏴☠️
When you put it like that... really we shouldn't accept anything less.
