Yes, the circuit breaker is acceptable.  You should know that this circuit breaker (I'm assuming this is a "normal" US consumer power strip) only opens the "hot" leg as defined in the US, and the "neutral leg is not interrupted.  However, on a ship, both legs carry power at voltages above ground, so a truly safe power strip has a circuit breaker that opens both legs.  Opening only one leg of a shipboard circuit would still leave you vulnerable to shock or fire, as current could continue to flow.  A European power strip (available in the US) has a double pole breaker, and is what ships use for crew use.

Wow!  That was fast!  How do I find a power strip with a circuit breaker that opens both legs?

Search for European or 220/240v power strip.
