That is, no sane warship will sail into battle without a cloud of probes and satellites flying around practicing electronic warfare against the enemy (and his cloud of probes), defending against the same, and so on. you'll need a crew of combat telemetry folks. It'd be silly to have to cede a battle just because the ammo conveyor belt is broken! You'll need crewmen to (a) fix these things as they break, and (b) if necessary & possible, manually hump the ammo from storage to the cannons.

(i.e. I could see an argument for moving some of the defensive elements from weapons to operations.ĭuring all this, there would also be damage control teams, in case of onboard fires and/or hull penetration / decompression events.

Weapons will have shields, space-sonar, counter-measures, weapons, and such.

Operations will have systems to maintain course/heading, maneuvering, and radios.

Engineering will have the future-version of SCADA systems to monitor and control the engines, propulsion systems, life support, etc.

Medical Department headed by a Corpsman,įor each department, you'll have at least some sort of computer monitoring station.

the Weapons Officer, responsible for the submarine's torpedo, sonar, and missile divisions,.

the Navigator, responsible for the navigation and radio divisions,.

the Engineer Officer, responsible for the nuclear reactor, the propulsion plant, and all basic mechanical and electrical systems,.

If you follow the Space is an Ocean trope, then model your ship's crew after naval submarine crews.įast Attack submarines have a crew of around 134, broken into about 120 enlisted and 14 officers, while SSBNs have an additional 16 enlisted and usually an additional officer.
