Good People skills go a long way, and it is in the military heart to
reinforce success, if you had five brand new super subs and ten
kpt's would you give the new boats to the most or least productive,
if it was your decision and all other things were equal between two
candidates wouldnt you choose the one you like more naturally.
I just think so.
not really relevant but I was bored.

well yes but the way i see it, the sub capt is not generally allowed to cherry pick his crew but rather in a time of war you get whatever personel that is properly trained and available.
IMO only the admiral would assign personel and only in rare cases would the capt have a choice in the matter unless he had an objection to the person. i think he had a veto power only not the ability to say who he got assigned to his boat. sort of a you get whats available and thats it kind of thing. its not like they had loads of guys sitting on the beach wishing they had a boat to be assigned to. im sure there were some occassions where a capt got to pick his crew but i think it was too rare to be made a routine occurance in the game.
