A crew of 65 to operate and maintain all those systems... I suspect that the crew will do little maintenance and leave it to the dockyard when they get back.
Minimum manning complex warships (even a little one like this) sacrifices combat power for cost. I see fatigued crews in this ship’s future.
Food, water, air and fuel are all that limit a vessel
I think that’s the manufacturer’s spec sheet. The user ‘usually’ tends to allocate a larger complement.
Sea storys… fights always occur in the first 2 weeks out.. woman troubles..
Now we have to go on mission with you.. and you aint worth a damn, so we sit you down, and Joey says “yeah she was cheating on you, here is a pic of her sucking my ****”
It’s brutal but we all settle in, a good cook makes a happy crew.
And then BAM! 2 weeks from making home again it starts all over!
Yes, regular maintenance can be an issue, but that pales in comparison to damage control needs in a combat environment.
Basically, most of these minimally staffed ships are bottom decorations if hit even once by modern munitions, simply because there isn’t anyone to deal with minor or major hull integrity issues.
