How can we save ships with small crews?

Article Abstract:

The US Navy has launched a program to reduce the cost of operating ships. The focus of the program is the development of DD-21, a 10,000-ton ship with a crew of 95. The Naval Sea Systems Command has partnered with the commercial maritime industry in using advanced commercial-off-the-shelf technology and new concepts in ship operation. The Navy is employing these technologies to modify some of its ships such as the USS Yorktown.
