I don't know how it was done IRL, but quite often I'm tired of the way how it's done in SH3 and a few times I considered givin every crew member a qualification. It would ease crew management (manual and automatic) and make the game to behave in a more intuitive way.
For example: I used to have 3 bootsmanns (I use German ranks and I don't know the English name) and 5 regular sailors in my engine room (VIIB). When the crew moves from diesel to electric engine (or opposite), only the sailors do it - the bootmanns stay asleep, unless they have the mechanic qualification. One has to move them to the new location manually, one by one. A bit annoying, especially when the crew efficiency goes down and you need everyone of them immediately at the station.
Eventually I decided to leave it as it is by default, thinking to myself "someone designed it that way and he was for sure better informed than I am, so that setting is probably the most realistic and just the best of possibilities".
Changing things to suite one's taste is usually beyond one's range, even if you are a U-Boot commander.
