Tourist has a point when he says:

Names matter

Redesignating the Navigator as WSO was not a good idea - it conveyed a narrowing of the professional/ operational scope of the job. The Navigator (WSO) is a full participant in the combat role; and...

Wader2.
You may be too modest to acknowledge it, but you have performed quite a feat: defining the roles of aircrews while not mentioning the aircraft even once!

Wader2. I agree with you that the second person does not have to be a navigator. But chances are that he will be performing the navigational function. The two-pilot crew is certainly an option...

Briefly.
1. As of now, the claims about the demise of the navigator (by whatever name he may be known) are rather exaggerated.
