Command

Command is a special department that is in charge of hosting and the server itself. NCOs may request a transfer upon reaching the rank of PO2. Unlike all of the other departments, this department is not open to beginners

Job Duties
Somewhat like support, this department has a wide range of ratings performing a wide range of jobs. Command is most known for being the department to host servers, and less-so known for its operation specialists and senior enlisted advisors.

Ratings
As said above, command has a large amount of ratings, from ship captain to operations specialist to crew chief. Each plays a vital role in how smoothly the submarine operates.

Command Chief Warrant Officers may be selected to be an executive officer of a ship, even though, as a warrant officer, their rank does not entail leadership positions. This is overriden if they are chosen as an XO.


 * Operations Specialist: works primarily on the ship to coordinate with away teams on missions and expeditions. Per their preference, operation specialists may accompany a diving team directly.
 * Operations Chief: they, along with the captain, oversee operations specialists. In the absence of an officer, they may be in command of the operations branch.
 * Operations Officer: does the job of the operations specialist but on a command level. Has more authority to remove officers and enlisted in positions of power, if they believe that this will enhance performance of the department. This power must be used incredibly wisely.
 * Operations Head: Commands the entire operations department, and is able to remove those in positions of power much higher than them (up to O4) with sufficient evidence / reasoning.
 * Crew Chief: technically a member of engineering (using the mechanic job in-game), they advise the captain with their experience, however they do not have the authority to overthrow the captain's (or officers) orders. Crew Chiefs are also in charge of making sure the ship's personnel have jobs to do and aren't standing idle. They may also break up non-violent disputes affecting the ship's efficiency and assign NJPs.
 * Senior Enlisted Advisor to the Chief of Naval Operations: a rank held only by the MCPOECC, their sole job is to advise the Chief of Naval Operations (CNO).

* At PO1, considered a probationary crew chief, or a crew chief for a smaller ship

** Only on certain ships. Ships where a SCPO can act as SEA are listed in Ship Classes.
