Indicates "rank". On some (most) lines even the non-deck crew have a notional number of stripes that denote rank and therefore certain levels of privilege in terms of using facilities. We used to call them pizza stripes as the only thing they really mattered for on the ship I worked on was access to the pizza restaurant.

That actually happens quite a lot. They call it a Super-Injunction: A word apparently coined by Alan Rusbridger himself.
