Naval Service hit by shortage of chefs, warns PDForra

 The Naval Service is short a third of the chefs it's supposed to have and a move to attract them into the force from the private sector hasn't worked, PDForra has warned.

The Naval Service is supposed to have a minimum of 54 chefs, but is short 18 'commis' chefs.
