Now i returned after doing more objectives and i didnt get retired im now on my 9th patrol. My ace's board also has me on top (cough) with about 396,000 tonnes sunk 6th patrol i took 280,000 tonnes with 9 objectives playing on low realism untill i get the hang of the game. but it seems to me that sinking small amount of shipping and doing only 1 or 2 objectives per mission u get retired really quickly. my opinion anyway.

Had a similar situation. I'm sure that's a bug, not a feature. Was partial to my crew having survived from 41 to mid 43, and was racking up the sinkings. Went home and they retired me. I had saved it, however, and thus decided "Well if you're going to do that, I'll be a pirate. Arrr!!" First, decided to check out the other oceans. Sounds stupid (and it is), but a little trip around the world was just what my crew needed. And I wanted to know if anything was moddeled back in SH3 land. Sadly, no contacts friendly or enemy in Germany or Britain.
Afterward, I started a campaign to refuel and rearm, without docking. Did this for a while (near Guadalcanal is a place teaming with nice fat tankers that just come to you from Rabual) until my boat finally started taking some damage on a couple of occasions. Couldn't repair the hull damage with the "refit" option, so went back to be retired and likely hung by my CO, or more likely, by the crew for having been out so long.
It was not to be. I was given access to another patrol.
So I guess the moral of the story is, the secret to staying on the prowl that the real US commanders never knew was that you need to first drive your boat around the world, then kill a few more tons, and they'll let you stay. Ahh, the things in history we never knew about....
