Officers -> Radioman

I'm in the middle of a long patrol, and already considering the next skill to give one of my officers. Upon my return to Lorient, I would like to give an officer the Radioman qualification. So my question would be, "Is there any benefit to giving your officer the radioman skill?" I have two petty officers with the skill and it's great, but will an officer placed in the command room with this qualification produce any benefit to the men in the radio/sonar room?

Sorry if this has been stated elsewhere, but my search didn't come up with an answer.
