Actually the transfers are a little on the light side. The US navy transferred roughly 1/3 of the crew after every patrol, so experienced men could take their experience to the newer boats and greenies could come aboard to learn from the old salts. I don't know how the Kriegsmarine handled it, but I'll bet it was similar.
