After patrols 14-15, a roll of 1, 2 or 3 results in retirement from front line duty.
After patrol 16, only on a roll of 6 can a career be continued.
Sounds interesting.

Or if you use SH3Cmdr simply select the "Realistic career length" option and it will automate it all for you.
SH3Cmdr originally incorporated Beery's "roll of the dice" approach (as posted above), but in a subsequent release I added an extra dimension to reflect the differing average days spent at sea for each u-boat type. It wasn't quite right to apply the same logic to an IIA captain who spent about ~20 days at sea per patrol and an IXD2 captain who spent ~80 days at sea per patrol, for example. Now, an IIA captain is less likely to be retired after, say, four patrols than an IXD2 captain would be.
