5.5.3 Warship crew numbers
The crews of warships are very large by merchant ship standards, partly because of
need to man a large number of weapons along with their command and control
systems on a 24-hour basis - at least when there is a state of emergency - and
partly because of the need to provide for such labour-intensive activities as damage
control parties and replacements for casualties. Nevertheless, the need to econ-
omise in manpower that has long been recognised as essential in merchant ships is
now regarded with the same urgency by both naval staff and their designers. A
typical frigate of the decade 1970-1980 generally had a total crew of a little more
than 250 persons; in the next decade the crew numbers of ships with very much the
same capability had dropped to about 170.
