[QUOTE]Originally posted by MarianLH: [QB] [QUOTE]Quoth Intruder1701: [i]Oh I would like to see that chart you have and maybe I could give you a hand with it. [/i][/QUOTE]The only chart I've made so far is the breakdown of officers earlier in this thread, along with a few rough notes about who stands watch in a particular room and what they do. For example: [QUOTE]Landing Bay Control Room: Standard shift consists of a CPO who's in charge of the station, and four crewmen: two traffic controlmen and two tractor beam operators. Total: 3 NCO, 12 crew [/QUOTE]I'm operating under the assumption that machinist's mates are the people who are tasked with maintaining and repairing the ship's systems in general, not any specific item. The question is how they would be organized. Would they be expected to learn everything about everything, or would they specialize to some degree? In the USN, how much is the operator of any given piece of hardware responsible for maintaining it? Is the guy who aims and fires missiles on a CG expected to do routine maintainance on his console? If nothing happens when he presses the button, is he expected to pull the panel off and fix it himself? If I remember correctly, the film [i]Crimson Tide[/i] implied this. The guys who operate the communications systems were the ones struggling to repair them. As for bosuns, I meant the term in the RMN sense of a seniormost NCO who is in charge of all the enlisted personnel on the ship. Is there no equivalent in modern navies? Thanks for all the help and insights. Marian [/QB][/QUOTE]
