It does, in small amounts. However, a diet essentially devoid of carbohydrates requires very very little vitamin C, making the amounts found in meat plenty sufficient.

Scurvy happened on ships because sailors were fed GRAIN in the form of biscuits, rather than meat. If ships had carried dried meat instead, no scurvy would have happened. But ordinary sailors were barely above slaves, so whatever should keep them alive for a while would do.

Your line reminds me of the BS from the "game changers" movie where ahnuld states that the gladiators were the "ultimate athletes" and ate no meat. They were in fact SLAVES and the lowest of the low, nowhere near the status of star athletes that competed in the Olympics and who were, by and large, carnivores.

Not your fault, of course. There is so much disinformation made to fit a profiteer's preferred narrative everywhere. Where do YOU think the esquimo and numerous ancestral peoples eating their traditional carnivore diets got their RDA of vitamin C? They got what they needed from the meat and were the healthiest people ever recorded.
