That's an interesting idea; besides that it'd be nice to start with different crew names for each new career. Maybe have more variety in their skill levels, too.

Was the turnover so high among the enlisted men as well? I know officers (and petty officers) and skippers were shunted around a good bit, but thought the enlisted men more or less stayed with the boat.

I'd like a battlestations command, too.
