How are people on a submarine organized?
The crew is divided into different groups depending upon their job. For example, the Executive department works for the XO (the second officer in command) and performs various administrative tasks. The Engineering department, under the supervision of the Chief Engineer, is responsible for the safe operation of the nuclear reactor. The Weapons department is managed by the Weapons Officer and it maintains the ship’s torpedoes, cruise missiles, ballistic missiles and sonar suite. The Operations department which works for the Navigator charts the ship’s position and operates the communication equipment. Lastly, the Supply department under the Supply Officer manages the ship’s stores, machinery spare parts, and cooks the meals.
