Wouldn't 5 low level bilge rats be rather inexperienced at repair work??

When in port, look above the roster on the left. You'll see a box labelled "rank." That's actually a drop-down selector. Make it display by "skill" and look at the "mechanical" sailors. You'll see they will vary from the insane to low-40s. I usually try to get a few rats (cuz they cost zero reknown) with the highest mech skill. That particular skill seems to serve best in Dmg Ctrl.
Also, I never get sailors before my 1st patrol... instead, I go to crew management, do the drop down thing, and look at what I have available (who's the top gunner? he's usually in a torp room believe it or not) then make my adjustments at sea. When I return to port, that's when I recruit based on my need. Bear in mind you cant see who your best sailors are in port (that list is the recruits NOT on your boat) unless you feel like clicking on all 40-odd of them and memorizing names.

His buddies were sleeping in there regular slots, but he was in a damage control slot, and apparently wide awake.

When you move someone, you wake them. At least, that's what I've always seen.

They do sleep. They just do it when they feel like it. :p Kidding. I'll post a pic since I'm on patrol now...
