Yes, we once had a fleet in peacetime

Click for a higher res picture. See all those little ships? They were on balance LCDR Commanding Officers with a few LT thrown in. That is how you build leaders. That is where you have a professional Navy. That is where the taxpayer gets its money's worth.

You know why a ~75 person corvette (AKA LCS, Little Crappy Ship) is a CDR command? Simple, and right from the big oval table many moons ago; "We need to make more Captains."

Sigh. It is that attitude that gets us where we are in many respects.
