Re: Star Trek Constitution Class Crew
Sure, except we've seen that Star Fleet has three watches (at least by the 24th century, it might have been different 70 years earlier). Three watches isn't unheard of in reality either, USN submarines have three watches.

Re: Star Trek Constitution Class Crew
I'm not familiar with how the USA armed forces schedule their shifts. Is there a "daytime" shift with more personnel than the other two shifts? (Some services do this, others don't.) EDIT: Starfleet seems to, considering that we've seen busy corridors and empty corridors at various times of day.

Re: Star Trek Constitution Class Crew
While I don't think that makes any sense whatsoever for a space ship, an episode of The Next Generation showed Data acting captain with dimmed lights as if night. That strongly implies, or outright states as I haven't seen that episode in ages, heavy and light shifts corresponding to that.

Re: Star Trek Constitution Class Crew
I can't reach them at the moment, but I'm pretty sure that some of this information is in one or more of the FASA Star Trek game books.
I think that they show ship's personnel divided into departments similar to modern naval vessels. |

Re: Star Trek Constitution Class Crew
I know it's referring to TNG, but I seem to recall in the ST:TNG Technical Manual that we only saw Main Sickbay but there were other other dedicated sickbays (and that cargo bays could be converted) all never seen for budget reason. So that five or so medical professionals in Main Sickbay could be supported by the others.
Plus, I've found it odd that a major warship with a secondary role of emergency relief would have a main sickbay of only a handful of beds. A Nimitz-Class carrier has 53 beds, which is probably comparable to CVN-65 USS Enterprise and a Wasp-Class has 60 permanent beds but can expand to 600 if needed.

Regarding duty shifts: I do use a three shift rotation in my campaign, with the alpha shift as primary "day" shift, the beta and gamma shifts lesser staffed.

As another data point, it normally carries 40 medical and 20 dental personnel for a crew of 3200 plus 2500 air wing personnel. But they could evacuate the most severe or lingering injuries to a land based hospital, or a hospital ship*, an option Dr. McCoy wouldn't usually have. * Mercy and Comfort, each a 1000 bed hospital ship, are the US Navy's largest ships aside from the carriers.

Re: Star Trek Constitution Class Crew
We know a standard phaser bank watch is 2 persons (seen onscreen in TOS)... with three watches, that's 6 men per bank. One of them is probably a LtJG.
3 banks of phasers, 1 of photons. Probably 12 guys, including 3 JG's and 1 LT Rest ensing ad/or enlisted. 3 Bridges staffed (Main, Aux, Emer) Conn (Cmd) Nav (Cmd) Helm (Cmd) Engineer (Engr) Commo (Ops) 2 security guards Main only has duty science officer (Sci) - no station on Aux/emer Main only may have weapons officer, as well. (Cmd) - no station on Aux/Emer So that's 13 Cmd per shift, total of 39, and at least one is Lt+ per each bridge and per shift. Main Bridge is likely CO, XO, Ops, Aux and Emer are probably Lt for one shift, JG for other two, as the Conn, for 9 Conn officers. 1 per shift of the helm and nav are likely to be non-ensigns, so 12 non-ensign/non-enlisted The other Cmd on the bridge are probably ensigns; the enlisted are likely to be at the actual weapon battery control rooms. Add the 4x gunnery officers (1x LT, 4x LTJG), and you have 16 of the 30 covered. Adding known department heads, you have a LtCdr Engineer, and at least 2 LT; one per watch, probably 1 LtJG per watch as well... 6 more Sciences likely the same. 6 more Records - probably 1 officer, but we see 2 different ones in the series Cdr Finney and one Lt. Medical - CMO is probably Lt or LtCdr; other MD's probably LT or LtJG. 1 per shift. Nurses - CN is probably Lt or LtJG, shift charge nurses should be LtJG, but might be Ensigns. 4-6 more officers. Which pretty much fills most of the Officers. Comms probably has 3 as well. - 1 per shift. |

Re: Star Trek Constitution Class Crew
I always assumed that a large proportion of any Starfleet crew were mission specialists. They would be assigned to a ship for their mission and reassigned as needed. Missions would be in the areas of:
