The cat o' nine tails was traditionally used as a form of corporal punishment in the British Navy and other military settings. Its usage was not strictly limited in terms of a specific number of strikes, but it was often administered in a set number of lashes, usually ranging from 12 to 24. The actual application depended on the severity of the offense and the discretion of the commanding officer. However, excessive use was typically discouraged to prevent severe injury or death.
