Just boomers?
I thought the fast attacks were gold/blue crews too.
nope.. SSN-607 USS Dace. You’re shaving with it...
Dunno. I thought it was just boomers, but I am not a sub guy. As I understood it, boomers need two crews so they can turnaround very quickly and get back to hiding underwater on deterrence patrols.
I believe the long-term CONOP is 5 crews for 4 ships or 4 for 3 ships.
The PC Cyclones already use mulitple crews for groups of ships - some are always kept forward deployed in the Persian Gulf, with some kept in Norfolk that the crews train on before they rotate overseas.
