This boat has no E-7 to E-9 that I noticed.

If I've never seen it before, it's a new release to me!
Their engineer (Stanton) is likely a chief, but otherwise you're right. No COB or CPOs marching at the end.
shareHarry Dean Stanton's character, Chief Petty Officer Howard, was an E-7.
Always out of Uniform of course.

Not a lot of sense to be had with ranks and positions in this film. However there was a chief, the engineer, but I think he was a veteran. I imagine there's either a deleted scene or a concept of a scene where the captain realizes he needs an old vet to handle a diesel sub.
Their only indicated first class is the biggest dirtbag of the crew. Also, if you watch the plank scene when they kick off the XO there's a random Lieutenant who appears who you never see before or again.
I thought it was hilarious that for a punk, Stepanik obviously passed the exams to move up to MM1.
That means he voluntarily took the examinations and, given his lack of hashmarks, did quite well.
The same random Lt. is seen standing next to Lake when Dodge notices there's been foul play with her uniform.
shareWhat rank would the dude firing the torpedoes be? He struck me as being professional military, judging by how disciplined he acted.

It kind of makes sense, given that the Admiral gave LtCdr Dodge ghe worst crew he possibly could.
sharein addition to the Admiral's attempted sabotage, Dodge was working with a skeleton crew. It was not intended to be a long term posting. He was probably only given the necessary personnel to run the boat.
