Weapons Coordinator was called SWC (swick, ship's weapons coordinator) and was stood by a FC1/OS1 to FCCS/OSCS (E-6 to E-8) depending... IIRC sometimes a JO (ENS or JG) would take it. Weapon Control was called something else (I forget what, might have been fire control system operator) but it was stood by an FC3 to FC1 (E-4 to E-6). CIWS RCP operator (that button under Weapon Control) was a FC3 or FC2. EW was actually a group of watchstanders, but the EW Sup was a senior EW2 or EW1.
Let me think some more... the TAO was generally a LT (O-3) or LCDR (O-4) although, IIRC, a Senior Chief (E-8) was qualified. I don't know if he had the qual just to look good or if he actually stood the watch though.
Lookout was generally undesignated seamen. Countermeasures were controlled by the EWs. MG would've been a GM3 or GM2 as gun captain and anyone could get put on the .50 cal. I only spent a few days on a FFG though, so I never figured out who worked the torpedoes. Probably the TMs with help from the STGs as needed.
