Managed to Survive the Drum

After my last patrol, 60K tons sunk, I was offered and accepted a Balo. Is the only difference a few feet deeper depth and a few knots of speed?

I recently got in the middle of a convoy by going deep and silent, about half way between the lead escort and the first target, I went to periscope depth and, being surrounded by ships, started shooting. Firing all ten tubes, I bagged four ships and missed with two fish. I then went deep, apparently the escorts are totally incompetent as they never got within a half mile of me. One thing though, when you sink something a little red drawing appears on the map. One of the ships I sunk the drawing was done in regular pencil, not red?

Next question; I am not allowed any more officers. I would like to add some guys that have special skills, but everytime I get a "Too many officers" message. Do I have to kick someone off, if so, is there a down side to doing this?
Thanks
