Main Propulsion Assistant (ENG)		The Main Propulsion Assistant (MPA) is the Division Officer who oversees the Machinery Division also known as the Propulsion Division aboard the submarine. The propulsion division is responsible for fluid systems supporting the reactor, which produces the heat to make steam, steam systems that drive the main engines and turbine generators (primary source of electricity), evaporators which use steam to produce fresh water from sea water, sea water cooling systems and air-conditioning plants which just make water colder to use in the coolers that cool air. The MPA aboard Arizona is a Chief Warrant Officer or Junior Commissioned Officer (ENS-LTJG) and reports to the Engineer.
Chemistry/Radiological Control Assistant (ENG)		The Chemistry/Radiological Control Assistant (RCA) is a Lieutenant and a Division Officer of the Reactor Laboratory Division assigned to the Engineering Department. The Reactor Laboratory Division oversees chemistry control of the reactor cooling system and steam-generating and feed-water systems; also responsible for Radiological Controls (nuclear/radiological safety). The RCA reports to the Engineer.
Electrical Assistant (ENG)		The Electrical Assistant (EA) aboard the USS Arizona is responsible for the management of the Electrical Division and is a nuclear qualified engineering officer. The EA can be a Chief Warrant Officer 2, Ensign, or Lieutenant Junior Grade and reports to the Engineering Officer.
Reactor Control Assistant (ENG)		The Reactor Control Assistant is a Chief Warrant Officer or Junior Commissioned Officer who is responsible for the leadership of the Reactor Control Division. The Reactor Control Division is responsible for operating and maintaining the reactor control systems. The RCA reports to the Engineer and is ranked CWO2-CWO4 or ENS-LT.
Communications Officer (OPS)		The Communications Officer (COMMO) is responsible for the Communications and IT Systems aboard the ship. The COMMO as a junior officer is likely on their first tour aboard a submarine and gaining qualification as Officer of the Deck, Engineering Officer of the Watch, and various other qualifications.

The Chief's Mess (Primary Manifest)

Chief of the Boat		The command master chief (CMC), (chief of the boat, command senior chief, is the enlisted advisor to the command on the formulation and implementation of policies pertinent to morale, welfare, job satisfaction, discipline, utilization and training of all enlisted personnel. The CMC is superior to all other enlisted members. The CMC reports directly to the commanding officer and works closely with the executive officer. The CMC ensures sailors are effectively led and developed.
Reactor Laboratory Division Chief		The Reactor Control Division Chief is a Machinist Mate (Nuclear Powered) that is certified as an Electric Laboratory Technician (ELT) and is responsible for the supervision and training of the personnel assigned to the division. The Reactor Control Division Chief is a Senior Chief Petty Officer (MMNCS) and reports to the Chemistry/Reactor Control Assistant. Machinist's mates are responsible for the continuous operation of the many engines, compressors, gears, refrigeration, and air-conditioning equipment along with other types of machinery onboard ships and shore installations. They are responsible for the ship's steam propulsion and auxiliary equipment and the outside (deck) machinery. Specially trained and qualified machinist's mates are deployed onboard nuclear-powered ships to maintain the machinery and piping in nuclear reactors. Some nuclear machinists mates (engineering laboratory technicians) receive additional specialization in health physics and maintaining reactor chemistry.
Hospital Corpsman		Submarine Force Independent Duty Corpsmen serves as the Medical Department Representative (MDR) aboard submarines and at various isolated duty stations ashore independent of a medical officer. Performs patient care and associated shipboard administrative and logistical duties. Performs diagnostic procedures, advanced first aid, basic life support, nursing procedures, minor surgery, basic clinical laboratory procedures and other routine and emergency health care. Conducts and directs preventive medicine and industrial hygiene surveillance programs. Familiar in the prevention and treatment of illness associated with the enclosed submarine environment, diving, and high-pressure conditions. Provides health education to medical and nonmedical personnel. Performs all patient care and medical management functions. Serves as the Radiation Health Officer (RHO) aboard submarines and is trained in the medical aspects relative to personnel exposed to ionizing radiation. Directs and administers the Personnel Dosimetry and Radiation Health Programs. Maintains and compiles radiation exposure records and reports. Senior personnel assigned to shore and operational staffs provide medical assistance, training, and inspection services to operational forces and component units. Additionally, when assigned ashore, they serve primarily as nonphysician health care providers at fixed medical treatment facilities (MTFs). The IDC assigned to the USS Arizona is a Petty Officer First Class or Chief Petty Officer who reports to the Supply Officer aboard ship. Medical Direction is obtained from an assigned Medical Officer Advisor at Kitsap Naval Station or the on-call Flight Surgeon while underway.
Chief Culinary Specialist		Culinary Specialists onboard submarines are some of the best in the Navy. They operate and manage dining facilities and living quarters established to subsist and accommodate Navy personnel. The Submarine Community knows its deployments are challenging on its sailors. Having top-notch cooking every six hours is a way to take the sting out of no port stops and very little sunlight. The Chief Culinary Specialist is a Chief Petty Officer (CSC) who reports to the Supply Officer and is responsible for the supervision of all culinary/food service operations. The CSC is also responsible for the health and safety inspections of all food service spaces and the manager of the ship's crew store.
