There is a 1988 "Red Heat" movie. I can't find a video or text quote link, sorry. Here's a script excerpt (at the very end there, the final scene, they exchange watches):

Ivan Danko: It is custom in Soviet Union... ...to exchange article as souvenir for friendship. I decide to give you this. (Gives Ridzik his watch.)

Art Ridzik: That's really nice. Here. Here, I want you to have my watch. This here is a $1000 marvel of Western technology. I got it at, you know, a discount from my cousin. Thanks. (Inspects Danko's watch.) This is really... ...a $20 East German watch. Thank you.



I like that trade, except that I will need another 20-40 other brothers of the phin to help me, where as he can fly that Phantom all by himself, lol.

Come on man... In the Hunt for Red October, Sean Connery and Alec Baldwin were able to operate a sub with only 10-12 people. Shouldn't be that hard to find 10 friends as long as you are offering free beer!

LOL - It's a bit more complicated than that.

Realistically, I think at a minimum, you would need:

-3 man crew to operate the external tug boat
-2 man crew to heave lines on the pier
-4 man crew to collect and stow lines topside
-2 man crew in to man the bridge during maneuvering
-1 helmsman
-1 planes man
-1 man to operate the BCP
-1 OOD who can probably double as the DO
-1 man to operate the charts and plots and act as the NAV
-3 man crew to operate Sonar
-1 man to operate the radio room
-2 man crew to man the galley and mess decks
-3 man crew to operate the O2G, Scrubbers, and other AMR items
-2 man crew in the ELT labs
-2 man crew in the ER
-1 man minimum to oversee all reactor operations
-1 man minimum to oversee all ops and act as Captain

Multiply this by two, at a minimum for P&S watch bill, otherwise everyone is working 24 hours a day.

So you could probably do it with 45 sailors or so, plus another half dozen that would only be needed during the maneuvering watch coming in and out of port.

This doesn't count anyone that would be needed to fix stuff at see or operate any offensive or defensive weapons systems.

But yeah, could probably actually operate one with less than 50. We had a crew of around 120 and that felt skeleton thin most times, though.

And to think, these are fair-weather pics. I'm sure these guys do this in the rain, in the heat, while it's cold, and just all the worst of conditions. They certainly earn their checks.

They most certainly do. A lot of their work, done in fair weather, is mostly practice for when inclement weather strikes and real issues arise. Those guys deserve every penny they make.

We show this video to all employees as a reminder of how a simple mistake, or a shortcut, can lead to an accident and even a fatality. Obviously it is most relevant to our linemen.

I’m posting it here as an echo of the comments about the work these guys do, the dangers involved, and as a reminder to be patient when there is an outage so they can do their work safely. No one wants to get service restored faster than a lineman; we have to make them slow down and think safety first.
