I don't see a thread with this topic, so I will put it here. If the mods want to put it somewhere else, I'm fine about that.
Anyway, FSL declared that the RN has solved it's manning issues and now has enough people to man all ships.

Article about ways how the RN managed to do that and have they actually solved that:

RN manpower issues
Fortune favors brave sir, said Carrot cheerfully.
What's her position about heavily armed, well prepared and overmanned armies?
Oh, noone's ever heard of Fortune favoring them, sir.
According to General Tacticus, it's because they favor themselves…

Well, maybe for the moment, with 5 Type 23 in refit and 2 Type 45 ( and other ships planned during next few years ), but as in that StRN article say- what after they return from refit?shark bait wrote:I think its a load of guff.

Re: RN manpower issues
Bear in mind this doesn't necessarily mean "right now".
He talks of the "both carriers", so he could very well be meaning their current calculations of recruitment vs less manpower needed per vessel as things like T31 come about and then extrapolating that to their estimate into the 2020s.

Found an article on manpower issues;

We do not have a manpower issue so much as a self-inflicted recruitment issue, and if we were able to respond to applications manpower issues would be resolved.

Re: RN manpower issues
For the navy, it's issue isn't inflow of people: It's actually getting them in and keeping them

Not quite, people are leaving at rate not seen in a while. Plus it's not numbers but experience we need as well.Markam wrote: ↑23 Mar 2024, 08:44 Found an article on manpower issues;
