Did Queen Elizabeth and Prince of Wales swap crews to spread F-35 experience?
Short answerProbably not wholesale, though key specialists may have transferred between ships.
NotesA complete carrier crew is not an interchangeable unit that can simply trade ships without disruption. Each ship has its own organization, routines, and readiness demands. Scarce specialists can still be reassigned where experience is most needed, particularly around F-35 operations. Selective transfers are plausible, while a wholesale swap is not.
