Historically speaking, that was how it happened. Sometimes skippers were relieved after two unsuccessful patrols.

As far as career length, I believe the average was 5 patrols before being moved to a desk job. Isn't SH4 setup that after a set amount of patrols you need to spend renown to stay in command?
Quite right. Many, many Captains were relieved after 1 or 2 patrols for lack of aggressiveness and/or poor performance. In addition after 5 Patrols or so a Captain got promoted and moved to command a Sub squadron, was sent to a staff job or went to new construction which took him out of the war for as long as a year. Some even left subs entirely and went to the surface forces.
