I wonder which works faster... Because I'm doing so many objectives, by the time I end the first patrol I could already have ended my second or third patrol (taking the date into consideration). I'm always crazy about these things...wanna take the best approach to make as much progress possible in the smallest amount of time :).

Oh, another question I had in mind: When you get a new sub, will you keep your old crewmembers? Would be kind of a waste of buying/promoting them if you lose them anyway...

That could be part of the problem from threads I have read. Nobody seems to know 'exactly' why you get a new sub. But one thing that was brought up in another thread is the date being involved. In other words if you are doing well and completing your missions and happen to be in base at the right time, when a new sub is available, then it may be offered to you. But if you are doing 9 missions without returning to base, you may have missed the opportunity to get a new sub due to you being at sea during the time period it was available. This is only a guess from other things I have read, so don't take it as fact.
And if you are at sea for 9 missions, that will take a toll on your crew and may have a negative impact on your rating.
