There is a protocol involved in ship visits and the protocol is traditional. Things must always follow a known system and tend to be done the way it has always worked best. The best people to take care of guests are the ships crew. If needs must, then ALL hands to the pumps!
With respect, nonsense. Things have moved on from that.
You can't expect to retain the best of our people if you expect them to act as scullery maids any time a VIP turns up. I doubt you would expect it from your crew on civilian operated ships?

For now, everything hangs on implementation of the CoDF report.

How do you come to that conclusion. Since when has service become a matter of personal choice or "get somebody else to do it " scenario.? The mission is paramount as it was in the Mediterranean when thousands were rescued, housed, comforted, and fed three times a day until landed. By the way VIP's don't turn up they are invited by the STATE.

That was the mission. They weren't socialising.
