I changed the animation graph on the 2nd sonar man.
Heres a prototype to play with: (I want to emphasize this is a prototype, a concept build )

One thing i have noticed. If you go to battle stations, crash dive, and advance TC, the extra characters disappear. Im not exactly sure what tirggers this, but on the whole it seems to work.
Ive included all the other associated files with the interiors so it will run correcty. I tested this on stock version of the game, and it seemed to work OK.
