Number of trainees

edit

My recollection of the number of trainees on the Sir Winston Churchill was 3 watches each of 13 trainees. Each day, 3 of the trainees were assigned as day workers, either in the galley or working with the bo'sun. The remaining 10, when on watch, worked with 5 on the bridge and 5 to handle sails etc., swapping between the 2 roles every hour.

The article states that there were 36 trainees, but the reference appears to be a dead link. Does anyone have a better source than my memory? ThoughtIdRetired (talk) 23:30, 9 April 2017 (UTC)Reply
