It sounds like a failure of leadership to me.

Commercial crews are entirely capable of keeping ships at sea for far longer than modern naval crews. Commercial ship owners would never tolerate the sort of behavior that modern navies seem to.

It is time to hold naval crews to a higher standard.

In the private sector, we just live with the problems related sharing equippments. It does not mean those bosses (e.g. ship owners) who sit in their office and do not need to go through all those trouble down on the shop floor actually have solutions to any of those problems.
