Does having 3 trained helmsmen in the control room improve U-Boat performance?

I was wondering if having 3 trained helmsmen in the control room improved the U-Boat's performance in any way?,especially when diving and surfacing.As their experience grows do they have other effects on the UBoat's performance?

Thanks.

Guess it was a rather silly question,but if you don't ask you never know

I thought i read somewhere that maybe it improves slightly the speed at which the U-boat reacts to orders and carry out maneuvers but really i haven't noticed any difference.

It is supposed to; however, I think when the green bar is at 100% that is as good as it gets.
I may be wrong; however, as noted above, I haven't observed any improvement when an officer and a petty officer are both qualified.
But then, I usually loose my sub anyway.

I've timed it--no improvement whatsover

I agree - full green in any room is as good as it gets. Further expertise is wasted.
