no watch officer

Actually did RTFM but didn't see this. I have no watch officer- I'm in exams- tried to assign one from crew screen but no luck- without watch officer can't give commands- well, you know! Don't forget, you were new at this once. Thanks for any assistance!

He's not available in some of the training missions. I did the AAA training last night, and I had no watch officer. I never do on that mission, but once you start a campaign, you'll get one.

Move an officer into the watch officer position. An officer with a watchman qualification does NOT HAVE TO be the watch officer. They increase efficiency when they're in their compartment, but any officer can issue commands as necessary.

The watch officer position is not filled when the boat surfaces. You have to manually move him over.
