USS Independence will have two crews - Blue and Gold - of 40 Sailors each. The crews will rotate operating the ship for four month periods. Because of the small crew size, Sailors are trained for multiple responsibilities. Other crew saving measures have been incorporated such as self help laundry and stockroom draws.
