Is this kind of crew swapping normal?
Almost sounds as if someone wants crews on ships they aren’t familiar with.
Is this a valid concern, or do others see it that way?

I’ve long been prayerfully concerned for ALL of our military men and women under the leadership of the evil that is Barack Obama and his administration.
My biggest fear is he will let our military get set up for a huge defeat.
It’s done a bit. Last big one was swapping out the Bonhomme Richard for Essex as the forward deployed LHD in Japan. Couple years back, I think.
Used to happen quite a bit with the old Sprucans as they were being retired.
Never with CVNs tho. But the costs of moving families between coasts and overseas is probably a lot more expensive than retraining on particular ship differences.
No, it is not normal at all. Usually a crew stays with their ship wherever she goes.
I think they’ll be fine.
