“Reads like a command/unit culture thing, ie, leadership.”

I agree. This problem is more about the ship's attitude than anything else.

Lack of spare parts and decreased budgets may be partly to blame for inoperable combat systems and other more expensive to maintain equipment.

But it does not take much money or parts to grind away rust and throw down a little paint.

I would question the ship's level of pride.
