Normal travel no one is needed. Even with waypoints set. If you spot an A/C etc, grab him in, otherwise keep him from tiring by putting him in the off-duty engine room (a neutral zone).

You’ll need him and nav in port to get started and set Kiel outbound if needed, call it “maneuver stations”. But yeah otherwise those guys don’t need to always be in control room.
