I worked in an engine room for 3 1/2 years while in the Nav... how the hell seawater can get anywhere and not be detected within a half of a watch is puzzling to me. basically I’ve seen enough to confidently say there is some dereliction of duty goin on here me thinks...

Maybe it is part of the planned reduction in manning. Smaller crews are great, until you need to fight or save the ship.

As I recall, the Zumwalt-class is highly automated and has a unusually small crew of 140. In contrast, both the Spruance-class and Burke-class DDGs have a complement of roughly 340. . .
