Just to echo Jim... I tested having the helmsman qual a couple of years ago, and could find zero effect. You can fill the control room with them (officers and petty officers) and it makes not a jot of difference to any maneuvering.

Others have reported that the medic qualification can slightly speed injury recovery and slightly retard fatigue. I have never tested it.

The radioman qualification works for petty officers, but not for officers.

And, while you can give more than one qualification to POs, only the "top" one applies. You can give 3 to any officer and they all apply. Don't bother with sailors, it's just eye candy.
