To clean those rust streaks at sea you need/need to do to do the following:

Have good weather.
Have calm seas.
Stop the ship.
Find the rust source.
Put a man in a boatswains chair over the side of the ship with a grinder and hit the source of the rust. You must also post a man to watch the grinder in case he ends up in the water, not to mention the NCO to oversee the operation.
Keep in mind that there are no dedicated painters on a ship so you are pulling a men off their actual duty.
Paint the area you ground with red lead. (this is a red colored rust inhibiting paint)
Wait for the red lead to dry.
Paint over the red lead with blue death. (blue death is a highly toxic marine paint that allows the color coat to stick to the red lead)
Wait for the blue death to dry.
Paint the color coat over the blue death.
I agree it is a bit much to do at sea but on the same hand and I grew up in Newport RI I have never seen a US Naval or Coast Guard Ship look that bad before and I have seen a lot; albeit the most I saw were in port.
