The game sometimes retires commanders, but I have no idea what the criteria are. It may just be a bug, or a poorly-implemented feature.

Anyway, for those of us who want more realism in this regard, there's SH3 Commander, which comes pre-configured with a realistic length career option. It gives a random career length of between 4 and 16 patrols. Technically it can be more than 16, but the odds are against it.
