Realistic or not, I'm doing it all the time, because the alternative is even more unrealistic IMO: dragging sailors from their positions into the damage party and then reassigning them to their original jobs. I don't think IRL a captain would say: 'John, Jack, Jim and Bill, you're the damage party now. Move to your stations!'
This is an automated procedure and when a damage occurs each member of the damage party knows where he's supposed to be. If this were automated in SH4, it would look real, but the way it is, with the captain forced to manually place everyone to his damage station and then also remove the guy, it reminds me too much of the utterly unrealistic crew management system of SH3.
