There is a well-known undocumented feature of Silent Hunter III that may result in no credit being

1) Do not upgrade or change anything on your U-Boat on your first patrol of a new career before
leaving port.
2) On your following patrols do not upgrade your sub at the end of the patrol... wait until you are
about to leave for the next one. Remember:
In base at end of patrol=no upgrading;
In base just prior to patrol start=ok go ahead and upgrade it!

I may have misunderstood this, but that sounds to me like nothing should be upgraded on the very first patrol and I read that to mean crewman too. Am I right or not?

I think it's ok if you go ahead with crew members.
