Relieved Ship Captains

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?

I think they go to reserve after certain time.

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

All Commanders are immediately available for reassignment.

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

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.

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.

Hello

regarding the topic: McMorris

It is an Data error

12359 => McMorris, Chas H. => Should be Type 4 => problem: a leader with rank higher 28 and Type 05 will vanish ingame because of the code restriction

I made a list with some errors:
Some Data Question // suggestions: (I took scen 01) But I think this will be also an issue in other scenarios

3280 Boise => Question: Should the ship have a withdrawdate 08.06.1942 // return 15.11.1942? (Was in the Mediterranean)

Ship Class:
679 Lexington => Wpn 10 20 mm => Looks wrong maybe left side => see ID678

1046 Sendai => Wpn17 25mm => Question is this right also front as Wpn 16? Or Facing rear?

1055 Katori => Wpn17 Type 21 Radar => Should be facing to ALL Sides

2174 Soya => Wpn 6 13,2mm => Should be facing to Left Sides

3229 Leander => Cptain Bevan, Robert Hesketh should command the ship (this leader has to be created)
https://uboat.net/allies/warships/ship/4003.html

3230 Achilles => Leader 17167 Barnes,Hugh Merriman should command the ship
https://uboat.net/allies/warships/ship/4001.html

2688 LST Type-II => Wpn 8 20mm => Should be facing to Left Sides

3101 Bathurst => Wpn 5 20mm => Should be facing to Right Sides ?

4983 S-47 => remove cpatain Hayler (was cpatain later the cpaitain of the USS Honolulu) (( James White Davis would be the correct one... but he is already appointed // other suggtestion would be Frank Edward Hayler, USN => Commanded the S-47 from 30. Sep 1942 till late 1944. But this leader has to be created.
See:
