Personally, if one of my CPOs comes up for promotion, I will transfer him off the boat, to simulate him going back to the states for stateside duty.
BTW, for CPO distribution, I found a nice document online that listed the commissioning crew for the USS Cod in 1943. In it I found the following CPO distribution:
-2 Machinist Mates
-1 Motor Machinist Mate
-1 Quartermaster
-1 Electrician's Mate
-1 Torpedoman's Mate
And as such I've distributed them throughout the boat as seen in the picture above. I've fixed the problem of the torpedo CPO having the torpedman's qual, BTW. The only one I've left off is the Electrician's Mate, since from the job description it looks like he wouldn't really fit in anywhere in the compartments we have. For the S-boats I have only two Engine Room CPOs, due to the reduced amount of machinery on board (2 diesels and 2 electric motors, as opposed to the 4 and 4 of the fleet boats).
