Used in canon:
 
  matHa', DoS jonta' neH 
  Gunner: target engine only. ST3

TKD 78:  The other word for "gunner", {matHa'}, remains impervious to analysis.

Synonym for {bahwI'}:

TKD 20:  which consists of the verb {baH} "fire (a torpedo)" plus {-wI'} "one who does". Thus, {baHwI'} is literally "one who fires [a torpedo]".

  baHwI'pu'vam 
  these gunners TKD

  baHwI', DoS yIbuS. QuQ neH. yaj'a'? 
  Gunner: Target engine only - Understood? ST3

  po'neS baHwI'pu'lI' 
  Your gunners are skilled, your Honor. PK
