These unfavorable circumstances were expressed, among others, in the reports of the ship’s commanding officers. The source materials presented in the article document both the problems with replenishing the personnel in general, as well as the other dilemmas faced by the ship’s commanding officers in the field of training the crews how to operate the main combat systems.
