Is there something I am doing wrong? would like to promote him and anybody else that comes up. Thanks

I experienced this also. I now believe that the answer is that two conditions must be met: 1) is to have one or more crew members with enough experience to warrant a promotion and 2) is to have enough tonnage racked up to have earned the right to promote. I infer that this tonnage requirement is per patrol, and I cannot tell you what it is. But I do recall that in my few patrols in a type II, I was unable to promote anyone, but then learned to conserve my eels. And I have always had one or more promotions available after type VII patrols (14 torps).
In any event the error message is poorly phrased and reminds me of some DOS error messages written by Microsoft.
