I keep 4 machinists. Two stay in the engine room, two in the stern quarters, and I switch them out as needed. I have two radiomen. They alternate in the radio/sonar room until both wind up with the Knights Cross, at which time they are both there 24/7. Normally the 4 torpedomen are enough for me. I get two watchmen. That's the core, and what I work on until I have it all. After that, it depends. I'll usually add in one medic, one repair, and one or two flaks, though that's later in the war. Mostly I've got one or two that are totally unqualified, but promoted and medalled out. That way if I lose one, I have a ready replacement as soon as the patrol ends.
