The First Officer operates hydrophones, enigma, ship’s guns, etc and is responsible for passing pertinent info to other players.  He also controls the ship’s medic.
 
The navigator is responsible for plotting the ship’s course, running the observation teams while on the surface, and setting up and controlling the tactical battle map (the map uses either minis or counters depending on player preference).  The player needs to be comfortable with basic math/bearings.  They also control the ship’s cook and are responsible for making meals (cooking mini game).
