And you should. We may be talking at cross-points. I don't contend that ships put to sea with a fully qualified crew, just that certain crew members were qualified by definition. What constitutes "inadequately crewed"? Is it lack of qualification in petty officers, or lack of the POs themselves? I myself was never "fully qualified", but then I was never a first-class Radioman, just a sailor who had some school and was training in the Radio department.
There is a function in SH3C that helps regulate this. Open SH3 Commander/Cfg/SH3 Options. The very last option governs percentage of experienced crew by year. It's a simple text file and you can set it for whatever feels right to you. I don't know that it governs how many of your men are POs, but it does cover how much experience they have.
