Torpedo run, not a bad movie

Would a character like Lt Sloan (played by Ernest Borgnine) have actually been possible in WWII?

The Character started out as an entry level enlisted, rose through Chief of the Boat, got commissioned, and then, after a while, was considered for a command?

Would a "Maverick" like that have a chance for a sub command during WWII?
