Does anyone else have any insight on this? I would have thought it would be like SH3, except for the 'Refit' part.

Things definitely get repaired between patrols in US and German careers, just like in SH3. New patrol == all damage repaired. I remember people saying that if you take too much damage you might be forced to retire or buy your way out of it with renown, but I've never seen this happen.
