As for the planesmen, if you wanted to be technical, on a dive you could bring down the bridge watch petty officer and one additional lookout for manning the planes but since there are only three control room slots, one of which is taken by helm, I just keep those as the control room personnel (Zentralemaat and his Zentralegast).

Not a bad idea. I like to use Diving Duck's interior as it automatically puts the planesman on the bridge while on the surface and at their planesman stations while submerged, vs. having them at their seats all the time which is not how it was done irl.
