I've heard talk of a crew database before, but my thought is getting down to that level (other than a fanatical interest) doesn't benefit the game that much.
The game chooses which crew are elegible for advancement and medals and other than that, there appears no clear benefit to choosing one elegible crew over another except you don't want to reward a crew you intend to dump.
Since it's clear from the management tool the game displays which crew is more capable, it's a duplication of effort there. As far as knowing which you've kept the longest, again, nice hoby but you can purchase high value crew green from the base who will out-perform your longest serving pawn.
The key to quality management is to leverage your renoun to purchase equipment and the best replacements. Since you cannot afford to replace everyone and also buy junk, the game also benefits from upgrading crew on patrol, but since this happens automagically, again, I see no benefit to spending a lot of time picking at fine points.
Sink massive tonnage to earn renoun, fulfill lots of missions, return to base and upgrade crew and equipment. Keep best crew in Damage Control and compartment leadership. Use DC and Battle stations at critical times properly. Keep the boat safe while taking managable risks. Risk management is knowing your enemy. Do these and you'll get the job done and see the end of the war through your career.
Other than to give yourself a new hoby, I don't think you sink more ships or tonnage by managing at that level.
