Every time they write “team of aerospace engineers” I read “we didn’t bother hiring a naval architect because we think we’re smart enough to do this without knowing anything about boats.”

And seeing as there are many similarities with a mechanical engineering degree, what they can do is quite broad. Also my understanding is that there are very people in the US who are naval architects.
