Default [OT]Question for the bubbleheads: Sonar Duty

Off topic question for the real life bubbleheads out there if its not too secret to talk about. How do RL submariners divide up sonar duty?

This is what I'm guessing:
one man for broadband spherical array
one man for narrowband spherical array
one man for broadband TA
one man for narrowband TA
one man for identification
one man for active intercept (and torpedo warning)
one supervisor

Only problem with that is it would fill the sonar room with 7 guys at once. 5 if the TA isn't deployed.

Anyone with RL sub experience that can tell me if I'm even close? Thanks,

lb
