Is that the one where, when you dig into the details, you find that most of them were either pregnant before they joined, or became pregnant while on leave with their spouses/boyfriends and only a small percentage actually became pregnant while aboard?

The Wikipedia article says 22 of the 36 became pregnant with a fellow crew member during the deployment. All of them had to be transferred off the ship so they could be closer to an obstetrician in case of complications.

OK. I must be thinking of a different ship then.

I think you might have misread that, it says 22 with a fellow crewmember or while on shore leave in Hawaii/Philippines/Singapore/Thailand/other ports (and the source [1] doesn't mention crewmembers but it's implied).
