Addendum my above post:

i find the testing interesting.

is the helmsman qualification more or less useless? i have always been of that opinion.

it seems that of all the compartments within the SH3 boat, the command room is the LEAST affected by crewman qualification.

the stock manual mentioned that the orders are carried out more effectively with a well qualified command room crew, however i have never noticed this.

given orders yield the same reaction time regardless of crew qualifications in the command room.

but take the radio/sonar room for example.

place two regular sailors in there, and you are likley to miss distant sound contacts.

however replace the two sailors with even one radioman qualified petty officer and you can hear very distant contacts.

perhaps this is a glitch?

it seems that something should be affected by command room personnel or lack thereof.
