A chunk of it was harbor rading Kobe and sinking Shokaku, Zuikaku, an Akitsu, and two heavy cruisers (in two separate attacks) at Coral Sea, effectively winning that battle early on. Docked at Fremantle on 5/20/1942. Got a Navy Cross but no new sub offers. But my renown is now ~7700.
I must’ve been unlucky then. Is there other criteria I didn’t meet?

Is not much ado about tonnage... if am not mistaken, given to that aspect... more is given t, how many objectives were done... again, if not mistaken.
Just exactly how many objects completed... would work up on your getting a new command... is unknown... & for good reason... things like that, weren't known by those skippers & crews... 2ndly... wouldn't do, to rank up more than what's needed to get command of a new sub... only to have issues cause... well.. that bright, nice, shiny, new sub smelling sub ya get... wasn't supposed to be had & you're getting it waaaaayyyy ahead of schedule.
Any who... hope that info helps...
