Total about 75, per wiki. Fine enough.Agree, but recruiting problems dont allow that.The USN is in an unfortunate situation where the standards it designs its warships around dont allow "expendable" ships yet it doesnt have enough personell to fill up all the positions all while maintaining a sizable navy *and* is only beginning to introduce unmanned vehicles to compensate.To maintain the projected number of combat ships, it can either increase automation (which leads to damage control issues like you stated) and/or reduce standards to commercial ones (like what the PLAN is doing, although theres no clear tradeoff), or exponentially increase the number of UUVs and USVs in inventory. Or accepts that there's way to reach hundreds of surface combatant and go with deterrence and subs instead.
