Crew Compliment

Starting a new campaign in a P-class I looked up the compliment for the sub and apparently it was 5 officers and 45 enlisted. After setting the crew up this way I realized it would take alot more crew management to stay on top of things in different situations. "all crew to battle stations" would actually matter as would crew members being skilled in different areas. Just wondering if anyone is playing this way. Seems kind of unrealistic that mid-war your veteren crew are all specialists at what they do and never move around the boat. Not to stir the pot, but it appears you would have to manage the crew similar to SH3 where every shift half the boat just didn't just twidle thier thumbs. For example, In real life, after diving to periscope depth, would the watch not move to new positions in the boat? Because if you fill all the boxes it appears they go play cards because thier duty is done.
