For my edification, how many Chiefs were actually on boats in the later squadrons? RON 40 especially? I plan on doing 3 chiefs on my diorama, one on each boat and one on the dock. Any Ideas?
Take care,

Here was a previous post that shows Squadron manning numbers. Although dated 1943, don't hink it changed too much.

Charlie;
While this was the Squadron compliment, I would like to know how many CPO's rode boats in the later squadrons as crew. IE; since most late squadrons were broken up into divisions for training, would 3-4 boat riding CPO crew members per division be do-able?
