Your view is frankly infantile. To compare to offshore working shows a staggering lack of big picture awareness. I'm guessing I was right about the junior rates mess?
To operate effectively, a crew needs a workup. This would be impossible to achieve under your suggested system.
When a ship goes to FOST it improves until it is ready. It takes a lot of time and effort for the team to work together.
What do you think the point of all the enormously expensive JMC/Joint Warrior/Thursday war type exercises actually is!?!
As a complete aside, do you honestly think that this is a hard work deployment? You don't think they would prefer this to Joint Warrior or a South Atlantic deployment?
