In RUB you don't regain energy in quarters. You just don't lose any there. In all other compartments (more in the most stressful like torpedo rooms) you get more and more fatigued the longer you are at sea. Wow! Who would have thought?
But with experience your crew can function even when fatigued.
I don't mean to sound like a know-it-all but by God, this reflects real life. I've been working on the road for almost 20 years, testing power plant emissions. These jobs come up with almost no warning. The phone will ring and we will have to drive or fly somewhere the next day for what we are told will be a few days, or a few weeks. The actual duration often exceeds the estimates by a factor of 5 or more. In 2000 I went to Sumatra for a two week job and was there for six months. We usually work 12-18 hours a day, seven days a week until the project is complete.
The kids can't handle this kind of life. Maybe one out of 20 new hires actually survive long enough to learn to be useful. You would be suprised though by how many 50 year old guys can work 14 hours, go to a bar and drink for 6 hours, sleep for three hours and come back and do it again. Day after day. Experience counts.
End of lecture. I like the RUB fatigue model.
