Can't explain your CTD, but just a point of clarification, SH3 Commander does not auto-promote any crew members. If you have an existing Leutnant or Oberleutnant whose experience is greater than 500 and who has an EK2, it is suggested that you replace them so that they can forge their own career as a Commander. You don't have to though (hence why you are asked).
When you awarded the EK2, one of your officers would have met this criteria.

15 badges is about correct (I got 24 after my last patrol). Badges tended to be awarded to all crewmen after the second patrol. I believe Beery adjusted the renown figure so that SH3 would realistically award more badges earlier on.

Apart from the names, your crew were not random. The crew in SH3 Commander and RUb more closely resembles the crew setup of a real U-Boat.
