I'd ditch the Deck Gun as an officer specialisation - as the war progresses virtually every merchant gets its own guns, so you tend to not shoot it out on the surface as much (early war specialise a WO in deck guns, it hurts a lot less to sack him than sack a 3 slot officer once you feel fighting it out on the surface is untenable).
I'd also ditch the officer Flak specialisation and use a WO for it.
Both those officers can pick up repair specialisations.
I'd also drop Medic as an officer specialisation and possibly replace it with Torpedoes.
Thats basically how I set up (but with less helmsmen) - if you went with less helmsmen you could give your watchmen a torpedoes specialisation (to employ them when dived).
I find there are a lot of trade offs, so try to make sure you don't have anyone who is useful when surfaced, but a dead weight when dived.
Naturally, my set up works for my style of play YMMV.
