Really liked seeing a bit about the ship and meeting some of the people. A crew of 60 is small for a ship of this capability. Also liked hearing from the Admiral, who seems like a great guy. He's right; it's the sailors that make the Navy work, not just the hardware.

Check out the italian PPA Paolo Thaon di Revel, they have a naval cockpit design and in general much more advanced ship.

I am impressed, the Admiral said it correctly, an officer or NCO is required to bring up his subordinates to one day take their position and learn leadership while in the junior grades!! However there comes the responsibility to discipline as well when the need arises. That is usually the captain of the boat. In the air force it started with me on explaining to my troops what was okay and what was not okay!!
