It was typical of US Subs to have up to a third of the crew rotated out after a patrol and the officers sometimes had to fight a "paper battle" to keep some men they really wanted on the boat.
But I do NOT want the developers to spend time on this aspect of a sim at the expense of critical game mechanics. I can always choose to rotate my crew after each patrol and--well--actually I frequently do send some 1st class petty officers packing when I get too many of them. But there are always a copuple with familiar names I like to keep aboard.

1/3 Mandatory Crew Rotations . . . that would be great to have simulated in the game . . . I'd imagine the best Officers and CPOs would have been prized assets to any crew. I can imagine some crewmembers not liking one command environment, while loving others . . . trying to get posted to boat X for this reason or boat Y for another reason . . . this would make a great mod. Having to pay to keep certain crewmembers out of your renown pool, having to pay to get rid of certain "problem" crewmembers . . .
