I thought the Navigator was a junior officer who got that assignment, because any of the seniors could do it, and they checked up on him. Once again it sounds like they're trying to bring a lot of cool new stuff to the game, and not quite getting how it actually worked.

Hello, Steve!
Besides the glasses and some other nonsense, I think they actually got something pretty much right: navigator's age. You know, usually U-boat's navigator wasn't officer at all, but older warrant officer. Actually I don't know a single case where in Kriegsmarine a junior officer was given navigator's billet. For example Suhren (U-564) had a warrant officer of 43 years old as a navigator. The man, nicknamed Stürkorl (Rudder-Carl) was the oldest man on board.
And what becomes to SH5: Oh, no...
