Whoever is on the wasp as helmsman is merely there to be ready to jump on the helm if we have to sever the tow rope for any reason. Otherwise they are just along for the ride. The wasp will not be very maneuverable, with only a weapon crew and a helmsman, so the idea will be to avoid combat, not charge in. But even a second weapon platform is a huge tactical advantage."
"I understand," Bazz replies. "I'm just saying, If there is a battle, I'd rather not have to make independent decisions without a more experienced sailor telling me where he wants the ship to go. I will if I need to. Especially if it's just a matter of staying away from combat or staying behind the reposte and shooting over them at the attacker."
