I have a Question.
Is it possible to have more then one officer per ship?
What does the Navy do with 3000 Captains?
Personally I don't see why there should be any arbitrary level of promotion ratio, people should simply be promoted as positions are available to be filled.
There could be a 10% extra promoted for each rank of which could be assigned to administrative positions which could be a bit more fluent in what rank is needed such as flag bridge officers or junior officers on ships.
This way if you need 50 captains you would have 55 promoted, the five extra could take positions as flag officers. Flag staff officers could probably be of more than one rank type. Flag staff positions would not really unlock promotion opportunities but meant as use for that extra officer you get from each rank below the first.
Or something like this... I don't like to get an arbitrary number of each officer rank.
A question occurred to me overnight. The US Navy has about 430 ships, many of which are commanded by a Commander. What does the Navy do with 3000 Captains?
Or are the stats wrong?
