Auto-assign TF Commanders?

I have always auto-assigned TF commanders for even 1-ship TF's. Example: a local minesweeping TF may have 1 vessel with an Ensign as skipper and another Ensign as TF Commander. Example 2: a TF with a single xAKL transferring from one rear port to another gets a TF Commander in addition to the skipper. My hypothesis is that this puts more officers to sea and they gain skills/experience. Anecdotally, I think this holds true, but I have never really looked at it to see that it is.

Anyone have thoughts on this?

Never really looked at it that way. Could have some merit.

It does work, but you need to make sure you do not end up with your good commanders in charge of a small backwater TFs.
