    Why do they have a 4 digit counter?
    That seems like overprovisioning.

      According to this source, under fleet service highlights, there was a 5 year gap between when they were first delivered to the Navy and the first carrier deployment.

      So ~1800 days when it would’ve been pretty hard for them to lose one. Though I’m sure they managed to do it anyway.

        Thanks for the useful information.
        That was my attempt at trash-talking.

        So, what was the counter for that batch, 1805?

          Probably. Likely the only time the fourth digit counter would’ve spun off 0.
