"conversations" is much more general, giving you the idea that they spoke about it openly. when you think "muttering" you might get an image of a kid muttering some smart reply under their breath in response to authority. it's like a petty complaint, almost. when you hear the word "conversation" you might picture a group of people sitting together having a full discussion. changing from one word to the other definitely changes the image of how the sailors are speaking amongst themselves.
