From: Jim Harrison <harrisj@prism.CS.ORST.EDU>
Using as a reference Battleships by Robert O. Dulin, JR and William Garzke, Jr.
 published by the U.S. Naval Institute, 1976, I was able to find the quote that
"A minimum crew of 77 men was required for each turret.  This is for the Iowa
Class but it doesn't break down any further where the various members of the crew were assigned.
