Amen. GQ is one of those things that goes with Artificial Ignorance, a real crew there would be SOMEONE (probably the XO) to say "Hey skip, we've been at GQ for 9 hours, no contacts anywhere, think it would be a good idea to secure now?" It IS realistic that they don't secure without permission, but unrealistic that nobody thinks to suggest it.

I generally wait to order GQ until I actually need torpedoes loaded fast so they don't get tired, but when testing GONE ASIATIC I order the flak guns manned without setting GQ since there's a lot of air attacks. After the first is over I set TC until the next contact, then find that the gun crews decided they needed a coffee break. How does a man get to be a Chief Gunners Mate in the United States Navy without knowing you ALWAYS follow the last order received until told to do otherwise, and never ever leave your station without permission?! Who told you guys you could secure?! I'll bust you down to swab jockey 3rd class IF you survive the keelhauling.

While submerged.

It's odd they won't secure from GQ without orders and will stay manned and ready until they drop from exhaustion, but the man your guns order doesn't follow the same routine, in fact they go AWOL after 20-30 minutes. Blasted lubbers.
