No one had more pens than a well prepared Messenger of the Watch. Blue for the CO, red for the XO, the rest of the rainbow for the department heads, and black for everyone else.

The only pen I had was the one I wasn't going to use to sign your qual card.

What's funny was that on my first boat there were almost as many YN's (yeomen) in the crew as ET's. Now-a-days, as I understand it, we own the forward half of the boat.
Well considering they put QM, IC, and ET together and called it good, the division owns more by default. Except Radio, Radio shall remain in the hands of Radiomen behind our heavy locked door.
