The logic is behind the actual number of boats per class vs time. Start of war there were 10 Porpoise class, 6 Salmon Class, 10 Sargo Class, 12 Tambor Class. The Gato Class production was ramping up with a total of 77 completed, followed by 120 Balao Class boats. Odds are you're going to transfer to a new boat, and those odds become greater the later in the war due to losses of the older classes.

I do understand what you're saying though from the perspective of working your way up the ladder. But as you and I both know the Navy puts people where it needs them.
