GWX 3.0 GW Officer AWOL bug

Yes, it happens once in a while. It seems to occur when he is left in charge of the damage control team when you end your patrol. Somehow this doesn't get processed correctly for the next patrol. I don't know of a correct way of fixing this issue. Somebody else may respond with more info on this.

Something similar happened to me once.
I earned the type XXI and played out the war to the end, and then started my career again from when I first unlocked the XXI (like the last 8 missions or so), and suddenly, 3 of my torpedo trained loaders disappeared...
Each of them had the 'german cross in gold', which removes fatigue, so I left all 3 on duty in the forward compartment (not in quarters to rest, since they don't need it), and when I started again, they were gone. Like they'd never been on the boat in the first place. Ever since, I try to group all my crew together when they are not needed at battle stations before I return to port and quit the mission.

Had this happen to me a couple of patrols ago

I remember reading about this here before. You can fix it using SH3 Commander, but I don't remember the details of how to do it.

The upshot is he is still there, just invisible.
