By running a short harbor tour and close in sea trials this improves the quality of the entire crew as each man is credited with one patrol. It also allows me to give a specialty to one of the petty officers or a officer after the patrol is over .

And like stated it makes it more realistic to me anyway's

Likewise, I do 2 "harbour" patrols before going into combat, then do an additional training patrol. It saves a lot of headaches one has with a green crew.
