I'm a real obsessive compulsive when it comes to this.

On starting a campaign, I take quite a while clicking the barracks screen trying to get good officers.

I usually keep the deck watch officer with the "Watch" and "Guns" badge. (I upgrade him with a flak badge early as possible)

Then I have to have an engine room officer:- "Watch" "Machinist" "Repair"

Then two "Watch" "Helm" "Machinists" (sometime a Watch Helm Medic instead) One is the Chief Engineer, The second I class as navigator

And one "Watch" "Helm" "Torpedo"

(second watch officer/ torpedo guy...)

Da daaaa... that's my crew.

Also, I prefer it if they all look different to avoid confusion, most with hats (if possible) and blue overalls for engine officer and maybe the CI.

As you can imagine, it takes ages to get it right, and often I dont "buy" the last member of my crew till after the first patrol, as 1500 renown doesn't cover everything.
