I'd like to know whether there is an authoritative resource that describes what the crew numbers and composition by rank were for US boats. I'm getting conflicting info from various sites. For instance, Wiki states that the crew for a Sargo-class sub was 5 officers and 54 other ranks, but another site lists the total complement for the same class as 78 men.

Reason I'm asking is that I'd like to tweak my crew to have roughly the same number of officers and petty officers as in real life.
