How many crew do you need to run a ship?
The minimum crew size will depend greatly on the size of the ship, but if you are talking about a full-rigged ship (i.e. three or more masts with square rigged sails) then the smallest of these would probably require a crew of about 30 or so to operate efficiently.
How many men does it take to sail a man of war?
r/AskHistorians – Apparently a crew of around 800 men was needed to sail a Man o’ War/Ship of the line carrying a total 100+ cannons.
How many people were on a frigate?
According to the standard system of ship-classifications, a frigate was a ship with a crew of between 200 and 1,000 beings, and an approximate size of 200-400m long, defined by the maximum size of smaller system patrol craft and the minimum size of larger cruisers.
How many people are needed to crew a sloop?
Sloops were used as merchantmen, and were also the most common type of pirate ship. They were fast and agile and required a very small minimal crew, ranging from one to 120 men. Pirate sloops normally carried 60 to 80 crewmen and up to 16 cannons on one deck on the sides.
How many people can sail a small ship?
Used in the early years of the whaling industry, small colonial sloops traditionally had one mast. They were rigged with a fore-and aft sail and often a square topsail. They averaged well under 100 tons, usually 60 feet in length or less, and employed 12-15 men, and usually carried two whaleboats.
What is a crew complement?
A ship’s company comprises all officers, non-commissioned officers and enlisted personnel aboard a naval vessel. The size of the ship’s company (the complement) is the number of people on board, excluding civilians and guests.
What rate was a frigate?
The Rating System
| Type | Rate | Guns |
|---|---|---|
| Ship of the line | 2nd Rate | 90 to 98 |
| 3rd Rate | 64 to 80 | |
| 4th Rate | 48 to 60 | |
| Frigate | 5th Rate | 32 to 44 |
What should be considered when establishing minimum crew?
The ratio of cabin crew members to floor-level exits should also be considered when establishing minimum crew. As demonstrated by accident investigations and research studies, as well as manufacturer recommendations, floor-level exits should be assigned to cabin crew members so that they are attended in the event of an emergency evacuation.
How many cabin crew do I need to comply with Annex 6?
ICAO Standards and Recommended Practices (SARPs) do not provide a numeric value (e.g. exact number of cabin crew) needed for the operator to comply with Annex 6 requirements. The minimum number of cabin crew members required for each aircraft type in an operator’s fleet must be approved by the State of the Operator.
What is the manual on the establishment of minimum cabin crew requirements?
ICAO developed the Manual on the Establishment of Minimum Cabin Crew Requirements (Doc 10072) in order to provide guidance on provisions in Annex 6 Part I related to the assignment of emergency duties and the minimum number of cabin crew required on board commercial passenger flights. It addresses:
What are the constraints of shipboard combat?
For the most part, shipboard combat can be resolved normally. The only constraints are the size of the ship (and therefore, the size of the battlefield), the danger of falling overboard into the water, and the effects of weather on the ship. If the combat happens during a storm or in rough seas, treat the ship’s deck as difficult terrain.
