The main basis for RFB's rate of fire at the moment is USS Wahoo - the most famous and (at the time of the engagement we're using as a basis for RFB's deck gun) arguably the submarine with the finest crew in the WW2 US Navy. Wahoo is ranked 7th in the list of subs in terms of number of sinkings and 26th in tonnage. The data comes from Wahoo's 4th war patrol - the patrol in which Wahoo was credited with the most tonnage of any of her patrols and one of the patrols that combined the talents of Richard O'Kane and Dudley Morton. O'Kane went on to command USS Tang and is ranked first in number of victories with 24 ships to his credit and is ranked second in tonnage destroyed. Morton is ranked third in terms of victories with 19 ships to his credit and 12th in terms of tonnage. Both men were at or near the height of their abilities during this war patrol.
Far from being a green crew, this was an elite crew at the height of their abilities. This is exactly the sort of crew that will give us the maximum possible combat rate of fire.
