Every time you sink a ship it is given a name. It is a name of a ship of roughly the same size and appearance of the model you sank. It also gives a cargo that that ship actually carried at one point or another, and roughly the same size crew. Of course I'm biased about that function, but for me it also increases the immersion tenfold.
For me the other charm of Commander is the 'Realistic Career' option, which means that I probably won't have to finish the war, but will be retired to a desk or school job, which is what really happened.
As far as crew qualifications goes, there is no such thing as an unqualified petty officer. The training is what earns them that title and grade. The way the stock game does it is totally unrealistic. Besides, giving them the qual doesn't give them the experience. They still have to earn that themselves.
Commander is one of the few reasons I even play SH3 any more, since SH4 does everything better but doesn't have the mods yet (if ever).
