Relieved Ship Captains

[Admiral Scott]

When a ship captain is replaced, does he come back for us to use after a certain amount of time?
Is it random? Do some of them never come back for future assignments?
How does this work exactly?

[Sardaukar]

I think they go to reserve after certain time.

Maybe 30-60 days (?) for ship commanders.

[Admiral DadMan]

All Commanders are immediately available for reassignment.

[BBfanboy]

My understanding is that Ship Captains relieve themselves every time torpedoes are shot at them ...

[Admiral Scott]

I removed Rear Admiral McMorris from the heavy cruiser San Francisco so I could assign him to a battleship instead, but he has not been available for reassignment. He has disappeared.

I've noticed the same thing with certain air squadron commanders. When their air unit gets pulled, they seem to go on a long sabbatical somewhere even if I've transferred them out of that unit ahead of time.

Maybe he needs to be a higher rank to command a battleship? Try changing a commander on another CA/CL and see if McMorris is available.

McMorris disappears. I wonder if he comes back later in the game.

Check your TF leaders . . .

Look in the editor. McMorris is an admiral and might show as a TF leader in the database, not a ship commander. If you request an admiral for the TF you could probably see McMorris on the list.

I don't know, you will have to ask in the appropriate thread.
