But if this cut does go into effect, and nothing is done to make up the number of ships in the fleet, there is something that will suffer, the Navy's sailors and their families.<br /><br />We already can see the effect of having too few ships when it comes to aircraft carriers. The navy has said that the next three carrier deployment will last over 9 month each. Such lengthy deployment are great hardships on the crews. And it is worst on the families of the crew. In fact such long deployment are guarantee to have several effect, 1) increase in the numbers of divorcees, 2) lowing the number of reenlistments , 3)increase of drinking and drug abuse in both crew and their families, 4) psychological and medical problems among the crew. <br /><br />That is why people discussion about the make up of the Navy is not just fun and games people.G Lofnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5579907756656776056.post-73811289611628435312014-01-15T19:23:09.444-08:002014-01-15T19:23:09.444-08:00I would rather they cut the LCS to 24, split them ...I would rather they cut the LCS to 24, split them between the MCM and patrol Boat Fleet. Ban them from sailing with the Big Navy. Start building a Multi Role Frigate that can command and control the 24 LCS. As for the LCS, I would Arm them in the same fashion as the Braunschweig-class corvette,MILGEM project and the Steregushchy-class corvette.Nickyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15318590507921043958noreply@blogger.com
