Adding the extra ranks doesn't get you anything more ingame, just extends the experience to add more depth and add to realism. While unusual to see admirals on single ships (especially something as small as a uboat (though type XXI's had they gone into real use in numbers might have seen them on the bridge)) it isn't without precedence in both sides of the war. While there was a captain (Kapitan Zur see) on the Bismark, there was a 2-star admiral there as well that was for all purposes the one in command. Admiral Halsey as a 2 and 3 star admiral would frequently take out just his carrier (and not all the escorts) and would be the one in command.
Highest ranking Kaleun's to remain in front line service were no higher than Kapitan Zur see; only one I can think of off top of my head was Erich Topp. Even if you'd like that to be your final (top) rank available just adjust the renown settings and for the higher ones just use 999,999 as the score.
For those using SHC, long time ago Jasun and I worked it out so that the new ranks would be compatible, so they will be recognized and the correct additional rank icons are included when you bring up the roster.
