Sub Crew Shortage Could Endanger British Nuclear Force

British Defense Ministry auditors have said a shortage of skilled personnel could limit the United Kingdom's ability to deploy its ballistic missile submarines and other undersea combat vessels, the London Telegraph reported on Monday.
“There is a risk that the [Royal Navy] will not have sufficient suitably qualified and experienced personnel to be able to support the manning requirement of the submarine fleet,” according to the Risk Register of the Defense Nuclear Executive Board.http://www.nti.org/gsn/article/sub-crew-shortage-could-endanger-british-nuke-force/
