Awesome...thanks!

Could you post the Kanji for the following officers?
ANDO Gosuke (TOKIWA)
NAKAMURA Hideo (TOKIWA)

KOSAKA Seizaburo (ITSUKUSHIMA)
HIRAO Matao (OKINOSHIMA)
SHINGU Chuji (YAKUMO)

1) Could this be correct for TOKIWA Gunnery Officers?

2) CHO Hikaru (55) was a Navigation specialist, not a Gunnery specialist. Would he have been assigned as Gunnery Officer of OKINOSHIMA and CHOGEI when all his other posts were navigation-related? Just curious.

3) Could the following be correct for YAKUMO Gunnery Officers?
