The article is not saying to hire more officers. It is saying that the officers we already have are not spending their time where they need to be.
Also, the officers are not managing the shipyards. They are doing customer oversight. So having the officers spend more time out of their offices is not a case of managers getting more involved in day-to-day work. It's a case of the customer's representative getting more involved in understanding how the product is made and seeing the impact of that on customer requirements.
