Display the name next to the turret like a normal icon, but only friendlies can see it.

Or

Display the name next to the gun position in the gun selection map.

Or

Change a person's name to Gunner(gun caliber)_(turret number). So someone in the #2 turret on the cruiser would show up as "Gunner8_2".

Might also add something like this. When you click on ships you get a list of the fleets owned by your country...

How bout when click on a specific fleet you get a list of players and gun positions manned????

 I'd hate to see icons added to the view for gunners. Too mnay icons add to the FPS drain. However I too would like to know who was using a guns or guns via the tower, the hangar or a "dot" command.
