Was thinking about this after I finished my last patrol. My current crew's been with me for 22 patrols so far. I've only kicked 2 officers off the boat (1 I used the promote to allow them to get their own boat feature in SC3, the other I flat out dismissed) and promoted from within my own boat to get their replacements. Currently when looking at my crew in SC3 I get the suggestion that I should let them go so they can pursue their own career. All the officers have RK's, 2 are Oblt's and the other 3 regular Lt's. If I let them go there are plenty of CPO's to promote to replace them, would just mean recruiting a few more sailors if I dip below the minimum.

Question is, would you promote them so they could have their own boat, or would you keep them in order to keep the well oiled machine working? To put this into the perspective that I'm seeing it through, imagine if you were the #1 or #2 officer on Prien, Kretschmer, or Shubert's boat for example. Would you rather pursue your own career, or continue to serve (i.e. voluntarily turning down the promotion) under such an extraordinary Kaluen?
