How's that low-manning concept working out for 'ya? On a more serious and depressing note, a comment I read on another website pointed this out - the DDG-1000 are being built on the same low-manning principles as the LCSs. They have 50% more displacement then a Burke, but have less then half the crew.

Here's one contractor you don't want doing maintenance on you ship.

Very poor planning by the Navy. The goobermint folks who wrote the maintenance contracts should be fired, as well. I saw these issues coming years ago, as did anyone who knows how the military and contracting work.

The new Navy is going to end up like the old Navy as portrayed in the China gunboat USS San Pablo (Sand Pebble) in the movie "The Sand Pebbles" .

They will be hauling a gang of illegals around with them on board ship to do the dirty work.

(PS - If you haven't seen the movie check it out. It's very good.)

Is it just me or does this have the smell of a gift to the US labor unions....?
