Control room: must be really crowded when in combat stations  . 3 per turn seems more logical to me. 3 more slots that could be axed.
Also the Watch in the tower must be busy when in combat, with 4x3=12 guys looking for the enemy . If we remove one set of 3, that would make a total 12 slots that could be removed.
56-12=44. We could add 1 or 2 guys to the damage control party. That would make it a total crew of 46. Plus the Commander/Player  , it's now quite close to the 48 objective  . |
Ok, so... thus far, we have culled the following from the crew roster:
Left off, culling from the control room... as not sure which would be the best... not to mention, is a possibility to instead... cull from the forward torp room, the same # there... leaving the control room as is... just a thought here...
with still following the outlined idea... keeping it to the projected & shot for crew round out to... 46, (with the kaluen rounding that out to 47) & thereby... getting as close t the bulls eye of 48...
though, to hit that mark, perhaps, rounding out the damage control team, to 3... thereby ringing the bell, right at that solid... 48.
If that last bit, can be achieved... that is.
