I don't have any data on this either, but I would have thought that it would be more likely that if one of your crew was transferred off your boat you would get a relatively green replacement - after all, what would really be the point to a "lateral" move or exchange of crewmen in terms of overall U-bootwaffe personnel policy/efficiency?

What would be really cool though is if for every relatively senior crewman you had taken away from you in a transfer you would be able to promote one of your other crewmen to step up and take his place - just think how proud Dieter would be at becoming a brevet Oberstabsbootsmann :P
