What good is it if one of your officers is qualed on the guns....he cant man the station so what good is it??? Just wondering.......

Post a gunnery qualified officer on the watch station with 3 regular n00b sailors manning the deck gun. Then post a non-gunnery qualified officer on the watch station with 3 regular n00b sailors manning the deck gun. Watch what happens.

(P.S. Same works for Flak Gun qualified officers too. The only thing officers are useless at being qualified in is Radioman. And Helmsman, from what I can tell. But then again, I believe the Helmsman qualification is useless for everyone.)

So, set up your watch officer with watchman, flak gun and deck gun qualifications for best all round effect.

No problem! I rarely waste a gunnery qualification on a petty officer, since I give it to one of my officers instead. Witha gunnery officer on the watch station and 3 regular sailors manning the guns, it fills the deck gun efficiency bar up all the way.

I find that as a career progresses, finding petty officers with open qualification slots gets to be harder and harder. I like to have 3 torpedomen, 3 machinists and 2 radiomen, so that doesn't leave too many available for other things.

why two radiomen?

I like to have a good hydrophone operator. 2 radiomen in the compartment will fill the green efficiency bar up all the way. I think that even though one of them is sitting in the radio operator slot, the overall compartment efficiency is what counts in terms of hydrophone effectiveness. I could be wrong, but it doesn't hurt anyways!
