Historically speaking, that was how it happened. Sometimes skippers were relieved after two unsuccessful patrols.

As far as career length, I believe the average was 5 patrols before being moved to a desk job. Isn't SH4 setup that after a set amount of patrols you need to spend renown to stay in command?

Yeah, lucky Americans. German Kaleuns being too little aggressive were executed ...

Have to ask to where you got that from, I haven't heard of that before?

I don't mind forced retirement, me... <ducks>

D.

I know of 2 U-Boot Commanders that were executed during WWII:
KpLt Hirsacker, U-572 (Court-Martial Shot for cowardice in 1942)
Oblt Oskar Kusch, U-154 (1943)

Source: Peter Padfield, war beneath the sea, submarine conflict 1939-1945

Kusch was executed after his 1WO reported him for being defeatist and anti-Hitler. Several other commanders defended Kusch but he was found guilty and executed nonetheless.
