I come from a Navy family, and for realism I would definitely consider adding:

Hazardous Materials (Radioactive)
Mechanic (Nuclear Reactor)
Navigation (Undersea)
Professional Skill (Firefighter)
Strategy (Undersea)
Tactics (Undersea)

Some of these would be optional specializations, but the differences between surface and undersea operations can be drastic! Firefighter seems like an odd one, but fire in a ship is a huge hazard, and submariners are all extensively trained.

Otherwise I think you are fine.
