I don't own this space under my name. I should have leased it while I still could

Two pilots and flt eng.

Route Nav and Tac Nav.

Port side:

Radio
Radar
and IIRC Deer but then used for the MAR tapes.

Stbd,

Martel (AEO)
Two 1C Sonics
Two Jez
ESM ARAR/ARAX

Radio was a rotated position, trip and trip about between wet and dry teams. Usually a specially selected AEOp would do radio on important trips.

The Jez was a 2-man setup with the 3rd man on galley slave or buoy loading.
When we went Hot the 1C would be manned by the 3rd man and maybe 2nd wet leaving one to monitor the Jez.

So:
2 pilots
flt eng
2 nav
AEO
3 dry
3 wet
Total 12
