Navy Should Put More Emphasis on Personnel in Ship Design, Says Analyst

The Navy should “go back to the front end,” thinking about the people needed for building, crewing and maintaining vessels, not just potential threats, a senior naval analyst advised Thursday.

Speaking at the Woodrow Wilson Center, Ronald O’Rourke of the Congressional Research Service said “the Navy is facing challenges … in pretty much everything.”

In answering a question about uncrewed vessels in the fleet, he said by realizing “people are scarce,” the result will be “a Navy that looks different” from today’s, in which the emphasis has been placed on looking outward.

Jonathan Caverley of the Naval Warfare College said requirements such as ship maintenance are “not something you can just do from Arizona,” like piloting an unmanned aerial vehicle.

It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

These are warships, not part of Carnival Cruise lines.  Sure, there are inconveniences, but they just go with the territory and eventually you get used to them.

The problem, I believe, going back to CNO Vern Clark's disastrous "less is more" tenure, is that the basic necessities for the crew, such as enough racks and head facilities, were altogether eliminated in the belief that future ships would be mostly automated.  Didn't happen so now crew members have to double and triple rack everything, with little or no space for their clothing and gear.
