Given a navy ship is a collection of conductive metal boxes bolted together , would there be an issue with radiation hazards from (introduced consumer grade) RF bouncing around each container? Equally, probably also not nice to have fuel or munitions ignite just when you start watching the big game.

Given a naval ships radar systems power output can be 200,000x (or much higher) than your WiFi access point.. no. Also there is absolutely no chance WiFi could ignite munitions.
You realize Starlink Tx power is 0.5W right? It's less than a wifi AP: https://www.reddit.com/r/Starlink/comments/ndh92t/dishy_rf_o...
