One point of view would be..

Seeing the game is all about the player, sometimes its nice to alter history slightly, as simply by playing it, that is what you are doing.

The player's boat being 1 of those 2 boats to use alberich, as its assumed the player is the best uboat captain in the war and is awarded these privileges, due to being best to test them successfully.

In my opinion it should be there, but possibly not at such an early date.
