According to their submarine lists, Drum was commissioned in November '41 under Commander Robert H.

My point is this: perhaps it's unrealistic to move from an older boat into a modern fleet boat without first doing a full work-up; and perhaps if I were to have a Gato as early as April 1942 I shouldn't have a career until then, as I was probably on the East Coast preparing that boat for service when the war started. |
That's pretty much the way "New Construction" by Ducimus works. I think it would be just great if when you get a new boat for the first time, you get sent to New Construction, and give your new boat, and new crew, their sea trials before taking it to Pearl. Its a great mod, and gives you a 'good feeling' about your new boat, but you have to start your Career at New Construction.
