Even cooler - in my opinion - would be to integrate it into the new boat assignment for successful skippers thing.
Instead of just popping straight into a new boat when it's offered, it would be cool if the player was whisked back to Groton for 3 or 4 training missions in the new boat, then told to set sail for the canal and on to Pearl.
Meanwhile, as all this is going on, a year or so would pass, reflecting the real world way experienced, successful, but still young skippers were used (after the war bond tours) to put new boats with mostly green crews into comission, then recycled back into the fray for one last hurrah.
