Noobly Qs again.

I cant find answers to this anywhere, so I thought you guys would know....
Sorry if these might seem like daft or minor things, but Id like to get the best from the game, and the manual isnt very detailed.

(I play Vanilla with 1.4 patch.)

Ranks.
In the manual, it says theres x3 ranks, in 3 diff lvls (x3 seaman, x3 warrents, x3 officers), but on my boat (im on patrol 9 now) I only seem to have 2 levels of each crew. Basic and senoir seamen. Basic and senior warrant officers etc etc.
Have the promotioons and ranks been simplified with 1.4 ? Or am I just missing something? Do they make any difference?

Medals for crew.
Very cool, but seem a bit pointless. Do they make any difference?

Qualifications.
I love these. I really like the long term ability to customise my crew. But, what is the point of officers having Gunner or flak skills when they cant even use the gun or flak ? I ask this, because I recruited an officer with flak ability as well as x2 other skills, and then realised the flak ability couldnt be used.

Transfer.
If I transfer (why I would want to?), do I take my crew with me?

Thanks fellas.
