Thats the general idea. Did you know that 1/3rd of the crew would be rotated off a fleet boat when they returned from patrol? This isn't simulated in game.

Historically the idea was to mix the old salts with the green horns, so their knowledge would rub off and be handed down. An entirely green crew isn't a good idea, and if a boat with an all seasoned crew was lost, then so was the gained knowledge and experience.

As intended. Seriously, what do you want, an all khaki crew- each with an uber skill? That be highly unrealistic. Can you a platoon of foot sloggers, where every man was ranked a colonel? In the real world, In any military unit, there's only a certain number of slots open for a given rank.
