I thought it was 12 at Admiral? (Not got there yet.)

I've heard 10 before. I've also heard 15-18. I was hoping someone knew for sure.

The fact that nobody seems to know the answer to the above for certain makes me hate the lack of proper documentation in this game all that much more. "What's the maximum number of bridge officers we can have at each rank?". This is the kind of stuff that should be covered in the manual.

You can have 10 active bridge officers as a Rear Admiral. I am using 8 of my 10 with 12 candidates in my list and it's not letting me get anymore. Not sure if the max is 20 or 22.
