Where will they get the crew to run this boat? It is not that easy and requires a number of skilled people trained as nuclear equipment operators, machinist, torpedos and then there is the diving and surfacing of the boat. This requires lot of experience to safely do it. I know being a Chief of the Watch, and eventually a Diving Officer. on a 8,000 ton boat (USS TRITON). This would require a bunch of split tails getting experience on other boats prior to that sub.

I hope you took no offense to how I spoke of (Jr) officers.
Good sub officers are the finest in the fleet.

It’s a close mutual relationship with officers and crew on subs.

Oh my. I haven't heard that expression in almost 40 years. (and the expression I refer to is not "other boats".)
