why the heck would you need elite BOs for SS? You nerf the line on it to save weight if you are smart.
Go for something that gives rep or SD rather, you really have NO NEED for potential there. 11/11 rep/restore or higher is what I'd suggest.
Same for sonar, as far as I can see it seems to cap quite early.
Same for torps. You dont need +12. Go with higher rep, still keeping 9-10. You'll have the reload capped out by SS3 if you BVE them.
The only sailor that really needs an high potential is the planesman. That one make sure you get 14 or an elite for him.
