Navy tests civilian crews aboard warship to cut costs
The USS Coronado sails from Yokosuka with civilians leading engine room work reducing crew from 18 to 3. Officials say civilian mariners cut training needs and costs, while preserving combat readiness with military officers retaining key posts. The plan mirrors Military Sealift Command practices as Navy trims personnel by nearly 8,000 for about $1 billion yearly savings.
