Actually, yes. I'd love to have cooks modelled.
But whenever a simulation is made, it has a certain focus. This sim is focused on the commander and a few mechanics of running a sub and fighting with it. A simulation doesn't have to model everything 100% accurately in order to be historically accurate. It only has to model the things it's focusing on accurately.
A lot of people confuse realism with reality. A realistic simulation doesn't have to be real - it just has to model certain things - the things it's focused on - 100% realistically. Other aspects - the things that the sim's creator felt were peripheral, like for instance a cook and meal preparation - can be fudged or even left out completely. That doesn't make it less of a simulation.
