The Supply Dept may have 'supplied' 130 but that doesn't mean there was a current inventory of 130 .... after how many years?  Smoke and mirrors.

Now as ex Navy, put this in the correct context … the Navy Supply Department ISSUED 130 Life Jackets to the ship. They transported them to the ship. The ships supply department took them on the ship and added them to the ships inventory. The department responsible for their stowage and maintenance stows them in correct stowages. This department accounts for them every few months and cycles them out for testing every few years. That is if unlike Thai Airways, Bangkok Airways, Air Asia etc they are not pilfered and sold to people that may like them. No one ashore can prove that when the ship sailed there was 130 actually on the vessel in working order. I know if this was a Thai Police vessel, ….. well leave that to your imagination
