For a new game I need functions on board of a ship.
Best if each function has a different letter.
So C=Captain and P=Purser.
I want as many persons as possible in the game so enter your free functions.

I need persons, not systems or attributes.
You can recognize the person on the letter it will show.

These are actions not persons also none of these apply or relate to a ship at sea which I believe is what is required as opposed to a star-ship.
SM=Ships Master ( a Merchant Navy term historically used for Captain according to Mrs Moggy whose late father was one. )
MM=Master Mariner interchangeable with Ships Master.

it doesn’t have to be a perfect ships function.
I.E. Entertainer or Singer in the show is also allowed.
I just want as many persons as possible where 1 letter (shown when moveing on the ship) will identify who is where.
