This is a very complex question because it depends on your rank, your seniority, and your experience in the coast guard. If we didn't have this ship, probably many of those people would work on another ship, but at the end of the chain there's somebody who wouldn't work for the coast guard, because we would need fewer people. Basically, for all of our big ships we have two crews, two full crews that alternate.
