However, from a strategic point, could we not maintain a fleet based on min max. Rotate the manpower around each battle group keeping the manpower at a optimal low and the rotated hardware at an optimal high with reserves being trained in the process.

In a wargaming sense your idea might work. But in real-life? Probably not, the service’s are having a hard enough time with retention of trained personnel.

Too many tours away from home will destroy the families of the people serving.

As a side note, I am willing to bet pretty good money that most of our volunteers for the Armed Forces come from families that had people serving in the military too, fathers, uncles and now mothers and aunts.
