This is operated by MSC. It's probably almost all civilians with just some Navy personnel on board. I doubt it's even armed with anything larger than a M249, and probably only has M16, M9 9mm, and Shotguns aboard.

When the Marines were taken off of ships starting in the late '80s, this is what one of the unintended consequences turned out to be.

Utter weakness.

The Lewis and Clark class are manned largely by merchant mariners, not Navy seamen. This was done to supposedly cut costs. It shouldn't be like this. If it was a Navy ship with fighting sailors onboard, we'd have turned around and sent them to the damn deep where they belong.
