A) The training path isn't 100 years old. It radically changed twice while I was in and I am old, but not that old.
B) The reason there is overmanning is because Big Navy said we all need quality sleep and routines at sea (study done by someone I am sure never had to stand watch at sea).

The federal government's watchdog agency is recommending that the Navy make significant changes to the Surface Warfare Officer, or SWO, career path.
The Government Accountability Office, or GAO, report, released last week, was commissioned following two at-sea collisions involving Navy ships in 2017 that resulted in the deaths of 17 sailors and hundreds of millions of dollars in damage. Both incidents were blamed in part on failures by SWO watchstanders.
The report found two key issues in the way the Navy currently runs the program: over-commissioning and poor retention."
