Comparisons of Wartime and Peacetime Disease and Non-Battle Injury Rates Aboard Ships of the British Royal Navy
Abstract
Disease and non-battle injury rates were computed for ships of the British Royal Navy which were deployed during wartime and peacetime operations. The wartime sick list admission rates were lower aboard carriers, battleships, and cruisers when compared with their counterparts deployed in peacetime. The illness rate differences for battleships and cruisers were statistically significant. Several categories of disease also yielded significant differences in the wartime/peacetime contrasts. Illness rates varied by ship type, with the lowest rates evidenced aboard carriers.
