The F-18 fleet got alot of those sailors from Tornado when it imploded, so they weren't really "f-18" sailors ,they were olympic class sailors.So when there was no Olympic class they went to the closest style ,best run class, which was and is F-18. You're only option to avoid it was to push the F-18 for Olympic status which would have been a big mistake and was handled well by the F-18 class.
