It's not a game, its a 'simulator'. It's purpose is to simulate life on a submarine, letting crew members 'vanish' into thin air to simulate their death is terribly immersion breaking.

It's a game, based on the fact that the simulation is and always will be no where near what the real thing is.

I'm certain that isn't the basis of the game.

This is very interesting topic, but SH5 is a submarine simulator whose goal is to sink the enemy - no arranging funerals for killed in action.

If the Captain's log was interactive, then you could make a log entry of a death aboard the sub and leave it at that.
