It's not. This info resides in the Flotilla.cfg file. I've looked at it and done a few tests. It seems quite easy to do - just a matter of changing one number in the file based on the year and the flotilla you want to join. I've asked Jaesen if he can make SH3 Commander do it, but it was a while ago, so maybe he forgot - or maybe it's too difficult to set up SH3 Commander to find the required entries. I don't know.

And crewmen being replaced to simulate tranfers would be great as well...
I'm not sure how this could be done. However, it can be done manually through the game's replacement system. I think what you're asking for would be a random transfer feature. It might be a lot of work.

One thing i did note, though, is that the career summary that gets generated doesn't seem to keep a note of when you get promoted. It shows promotions up to the start of the war and shows when medals were awarded but not wartime promotions.
Hmm. That's odd. I thought it did note in-career promotions. Have to look into this one. I guess it may only do this once the career is over - but I'm not sure. Anyway, I just checked the upcoming version (which I'm testing), and it works fine on that.
