Thanks a lot. Such info is very needed. If with 6 T23 and Bulwark non active, added to 1 T45 officially in extended readiness, and if the man power is actually there waiting for the ships, there should be 1600 crew waiting at shore. If true, there must be many sailors and officers waiting the ship.Tempest414 wrote:I would have to say 6 frigates in or waiting for refit is a ship problem not a manpower problem anyway I am back in the UK next week for 2 weeks and at Wattisham and Marham for one of those weeks and it turns out a mate of mine will be there to who is on the CAMM team now so I will dig up what I can
In RNZN, they say it is the lack of naval engineers not ordinal sailors which is limiting the ship availability. I guess the same for RN, but only guess.
Any info is welcome!!
