Thank you for the reply and the possible reasons that MT calculates the crew for a 100 ton missile bay at 50. The MT Consolidated adds the requirement to recalculate the crew requirements if the number is greater than 50.

Yes, the Iowa-Class main guns are crew intense since most of the systems where installed during WW II. The WW II 5 inch Guns had a crew in the turret. Today's 5 inch gun has no crew in the turret.
