Did you see the CO and EO Resumes?
When I was in, a ship like this would have a very seasoned CO and EO, they would be at least 45 years old and have had several commands under their belt.
Did you see the resumes of the officers.
every destroyer I know of, is a first time command for an officer of Commander (05) rank. By the time they become the captain of a destroyer they normally have served a tour as an XO, two department head tours and one or two tours as a division officer.
