Lone Wolf vs Pack Wolves

I've reinstalled SH4 after quite a long time away. I'm quite enjoying it again and for my lunch time entertainment I brought out the Ubisoft Bonus disk with all the old Navy recruitment video stuff. One of the first things they said in the first video is that contrary to popular belief, subs weren't lone navies unto themselves (paraphrased), but that they actually operated in groups with supply subs and whatnot. Most of you already know this, of course.

Could someone please help me come to grips, from a role-playing standpoint, how I can remain immersed in SH4, playing as a lone wolf but knowing that didn't really happen? How do you guys justify it when you play? Do you consider the game more of an approximation and just pretend there are others in your group, and that the actions of one (namely you) really represent the actions of many?
