Smaller ETVs run on a crew of 8, larger ones seem to aim for twelve.In theory, the idea behind the new Black Swan was that the core crew of 8 would just run the ship (something like OIC, three bridge crew, three engineers, and a rover). All weapons or unmanned vehicle operations would be done by the 30+ supplemental crew that come with those systems. It's LCS-ultralite.Now, even just 8 for the ship is probably not enough if you plan to be at sea for weeks or months at a time (which ships like those ETVs do not do). And we've seen how hard it is to integrate "core crew" with "mission crew" on the fly.
