If you are in a GATO class the average size of the crew was 83. The Archerfish 8 patrols had a low of 81 and a high of 88 on board. Filling up the Damage Control slots is historically correct as far as numbers go. There were crew without action stations that made up the damage control team. This is why you could hear the skipper order the cooks to the galley to feed the crew at action stations IRL.
