Well, I'm assuming it has to end at some point. If you go into the Mission Editor and look at the files that control "the action" - all the shipping, aircraft, etc. that you encounter during the game - it appears that a start date and end date is required for everything. Certain types of ships from this or that nation spawn at certain points at various intervals and sail along a particular shipping route for a particular length of time. It didn't appear to me that it was possible to leave those things open-ended, so that traffic would continue to spawn indefinitely as long as you continued playing.
It may be a function of the game engine. The game was designed to let a player simulate commanding a u-boat during WWII, so there would be no point in programming a world where it was possible to keep playing very long past the RL surrender date. And the original documentation is pretty clear about the fact that your career ends when the war does.
