(2) In determining the salvage payable to a crew member:
(a) the commanding officer of the naval ship shall receive the number of shares for his or her rank multiplied by 2;
(b) where the commanding officer recommends that extraordinary personal endeavour by a member of the crew warrants special recognition, the Chief of Navy may authorise an increase in the member's number of shares by not more than 3; and
(c) the value of each share shall be ascertained by dividing the total amount of salvage available to be apportioned amongst the crew by the total number of shares.
