I think if your campaign is to map the ocean floor you can safely say the expected duration is pretty long.
- pvaldes 9y agoYes, but in many places you can only do work in some months each year (because weather) and can only map the bottom if the ship is not reserved for studying other things (fisheries, ecosystems, geology, red tides, black tides, phyto blooms...). And people have children and family and teach duties. Your campaign just can't last for 12 months. Having a ship in a port for eight months is also expensive and moving a big ship eats a lot of gaz, so for coastal areas... "We're gonna need a smaller boat".
