what are peoples thoughts on getting the same sort of performance and crew size between wet navy ships and star ships.
I was putting together some specs for a ship similar in nature to the Spruance Class destroyers (I was on the USS Cushing, a SpruCan) and got the impression right away that a 1 to 1 mapping was not going to work.
The SpruCans were 563 fee long with a 52 foot beam. The crew was (when I was aboard) 15 officers and 225 enlisted crew. When I plugged the displacement (8000 tons) into MT rules and tried to put a ship together the numbers just didn't add up.
Thoughts?
