Battle stations questions

But, as Stealhead mentions, it's arguably better to be slightly undercrewed.

I didn't want to get into details, but:

If you're not running RFB, and thus no "Hogan's Alley", what I've been doing (currently running GFO only) is leaving fifteen spaces open on the boat. When I submerge, I take the Watch Officer and the three Watch POs and six other Watch crewmen and put them in DC. There, that's my DC party.

Now I take my Gunner POs, the Asst Gunner and anyone else and they man the torpedo room slots I have open.

The main reason being that non-RFB versions do not provide submerged slots for your deck party and they get killed by depth charges.
