I should add.. on Tim's ship alone, the IT's have an entire department.. I want to say there's like 80 some odd ITs in a command of 600.

I was on a DDG - we had only something like 150 sailors, but 800 Marines on deployment. Our IT department had MAYBE 15 IT's total.. half were network side and half were radio side. The radio side is a lot more important than the computer side - especially on a ship.
I was in for just about 6 years, and I only spent 3 months on a ship. However that will probably not happen to anyone else.
