Been thinking about this some, and I think you can fill most of the seats with naval Joes that have figures. Not that delving into other ranges isn't a good idea, using the Bronze Bombers are a cool solution (hadn't heard of them before), and there's always Q-Force to borrow from, but I liked the challenge of doing with only Joes.
So, my picks are:
1) Command Centre: Admiral Keel-Haul. Obviously.
2) Helmsman: Ice Storm. His v1 figure has a vehicle driver, and neither of his second version's specialities are 'full-time' duties for the US Navy, so he's seems a good candidate for being a Boatswain's Mate a.k.a. the guys who get to drive the ship.
3) Air Boss: Topside. *sigh* He's the only Navy Joe with a Telecommunication speciality. It's not a good fit but he's the only one with anything resembling the right skills.
4) Combat Direction Centre: Rampart. His second speciality of Air Defence Artillery makes him a comfortable fit for running the Flagg's weapons systems, and means he's at least been trained as a Gunner's Mate.
5) Armorer: Shipwreck. His double rating as Gunner's Mate and Machinist's Mate means he can do the job.
But yeah, just because you can do something doesn't mean it's a good idea. Shipwreck really does work best as a SWCC, and Topside is a terrible choice for Air Boss. He's a better fit as the Armorer, and it allows him more freedom for his Master-of-Arms duties. The Air Boss could be any one of the Joe communication specialists (Breaker, Dial Tone, etc), as Hasbro has frustrating not providing us with a dedicated Air Traffice Controller character.
