Agreed. IMHO this is a big failing in SH3. Woundings at sea and battle fatigue are all but forgotten by SH3 (and SH4?) as soon as the boat docks. No convalescence period, not even a wound badge.

http://uboat.net/men/men_lost.htm shows a nice list of mortalities and (more serious) woundings at sea by year. From a quick squiz I'd certainly be surprised if most of those wounded at sea felt 100% when the boat docked. As an aside I noted with interest the proportionately high number of "man overboard" losses (as opposed to watching them stick like glue to your deck in SH3 when large waves break)...

But all this raises another complexity - how many wounded or ill crew were repatriated through milk cows?

Anyway, this discussion seems to be taking your thread away from what you originally intended.
