Recent numbers would be nice, but WWII would be good also. Also if the engineering watch was port/starboard, or red/white/blue.
The book by Stilwell mentions a deployment (Lebanon?) where the crew was reduced from the WW2 numbers, and therefore couldn't steam at full speed for long periods if required. I'm guessing the increased heat reduced watch times in the boiler rooms, requiring more crew.
So numbers for WW2 (full effectiveness) and recent (reduced capabilities) would give a good range. Thanks for the effort.
