I don't play the game "right" anyway, my latest career experiments involve taking a Sargo hacked for midwar conning tower and radar at the start of the war - then kicking out the entire crew over the rank of 3rd class PO so I got a whole bunch of seamen trying to run the boat. Mechanically that gives me a big advantage, but an entire crew of rookies makes for some interesting problems.
I retain one officer and one chief, the rest are all PO-3 or below.
And no, I don't suffer from insanity - I completely enjoy my insanity.
