Officer Roles?

Hi everyone, I'm new to the forum though have been a fan of battleships for some years now. I'm writing a short-story and am interested in finding a list of all the officer positions on later battleships (King George V or Iowa class would be most helpful but I'll get what I can take).

Basically a list of all 100-200 so officer positions. Enlisted/NCO would be very helpful too if someone knows of anything.

Thanks,
Coridan

Coridan,
If you were to do this , you will need to isolate a period in time. A commisioning for any capital ship will give you the stats of how many officers and crew for that particular time frame. The Officer breakdown you may have to research through Naval History links. I would recomend the last time the Iowa's were at sea...late 1980's to early 1990's either Missouri or Wisconsin's last tour in the Med.

I'd be happy with any time period as it'd give me a good starting point, can you point me in the right places to start looking? I don't know how to get a hold of any of these documents
