Well, there are three retirement "issues":
1. You are beached after five or six war patrols. This is a FEATURE and is an attempt to simulate actual submarine skipper careers.
2. You are beached after one patrol in a brand new sub. This is a BUG. This occurs after taking command of a new sub class before it was historically available.
3. You are beached after three or four war patrols. This occurs when a player takes an older boat class as his starting boat. When that boat class is retired, so are you, regardless if you are still in that class. This is a BUG and can be confused with issue #1.
I think I've gotten that right...
It sounds like you found issue #2. I'm not sure it's possible to modify mid-patrol, assuming you have a previous save-game you can revert to.
