So what would the break up of personnel be? 1 MSOD, 1 Duty Cox/Tech, 2 MCR Watchkeepers and 2 Quartermasters? Or would it be something different?

jollyjacktar said:There's the rub. What is a sufficient amount of personnel. If you are talking about 4-5 people per ship. The butter is spread pretty thin and response times with an adequate emergency response team cobbled together from here and there may just add to the damage done by a real fire/flood. I bet a real no duff would be, in hind sight be a Three Stooges comedy if you weren't crying instead. I fear it is a recipe for disaster. But then I'm a pessimist by nature.
Stoker said:Good point, several months ago when the Kingston had her major fire, response time for the fire was well over 10 minutes by the dockyard fire department. If they had a dutywatch onboard instead of locking the ship up and wiring it into the fire department a lot of damage would of probally been prevented.

1x Officer of the Day
1x Duty Coxn
1x Duty Tech
1x Master Seaman of the Day
3x Quartermasters
3x MCR Watchkeepers
Through the work day there is a bosun mate making pipes and a Duty cook. Bosun mate and duty cook don't stay for the full 24 hour period.
