sorry to spam the forum again, but i figured that this would be the place to find a few of you relics hanging out... i need a question answered, maybe two...

regarding diesel subs...

1- in the manuvering room, i pretty much understand the functions of the levers, but how is the actual power of the motors controlled... those lil round wheels in the center row of the cubicle console?

there was something else, but i can't remember... brain not awake yet, need that first cup of coffee...

*** added ***

yes, it was the coffe i needed... jogged me awake

2- about how many crewmen are typically in each engine room...

3- is the engineering officer a petty officer or a commissioned one...

thanks again in advance...
