I think it is the 11th Flotilla that gets you the XXI in 1944. Sorry if incorrect.

Hehehe, in the average game getting a wound badge is probably the hardest medal to get. It's majorly hard coded into the game that the soldier has to be wounded/survive, and then when you get to award the medals a wound badge will show up. If you try to award it to someone else it will give you an error saying that this sailor wasn't wounded, the only person you can give it to is the one wounded. It makes perfect sense, though a shame that they'd go to so much effort to make sure that medal is awarded with 100% accuracy and others aren't even close.

Who else is going to keep the crabs under control once you get out to sea? Full boat full of sailors that usually had a large amount of leave after returning from patrol are gonna run into some kinda std. Personal hygene wasn't on the top of the list, one of the medics jobs was to try and keep bugs like the crabs or lice to the rest of the crew. Such cramped quarters any kind of major sickness would also be a problem (like malaria) and would need someone there that would know at least how to treat it/able to isolate him such that the rest of the crew didn't catch the disease.

...and again we come to the captain or medical officer pulling out his sidearm! This seems to be a trend in this thread!
