The Bridge would be the 'command room', and you would need the Officer Of the Deck, a Helmsman, a Lee Helmsman (manning the signal telegraph), and that's about it. The lookouts would be visible on the bridge wings. The radio room would be behind the bridge somewhere, or even down in the hull, so unless you had a way to walk there you wouldn't need it; only a crewman to deliver messages.

One gunner for each AA gun, and a 3-to-6-man crew for each gun (only on submarines were they called deck guns).

Probably less crew visible than in the u-boats.

Bigger destroyers would actually be easier, because the guns are in enclosed turrets, so unless you wanted a view inside the turret there would be no gun crew.
