1995年10月,美国海军研究咨询委员会向海军作战部长提交了一份简要报告,这份报告立即引起了美国海军有关领导的重视。该报告指出:减少海军舰艇上舰员数目和全寿命费用的主要障碍是文化和传统,而不是缺少已经证明可行的技术和知识。有必要在一艘现役舰艇上演示在保持舰艇战备状态和安全的同时,减少人员和工作量是可能的。 In October 1995, the United States Naval Research Advisory Commission submitted a brief report to the Naval Operations Minister, which immediately aroused the attention of the relevant U.S. Navy leaders. The report states that the main obstacles to reducing the number and life-span of naval vessels are culture and tradition, rather than the lack of proven technologies and knowledge. It is necessary to demonstrate on an active ship that it is possible to reduce personnel and workload while maintaining the readiness and safety of ships.
