Future Carrier (Including Costs)

[WE Branch Fanatic]

Although the Royal Navy is still undermanned, the First Sea Lord and the Navy's senior management have been working hard to deal with manning issues, and are getting there.

A lot of work is being done to change things to improve retention, for one thing. Additionally there will be increased use of Reservists as well. Shorter mobilisations may be on the cards, as opposed to six/nine/twelve month ones. Work has been ongoing allow SQEP personnel who want to stay in the service, but want a break from regular deployments, to transfer to the Reserves.
