It is probably a good thing that Yamamoto was transfered so soon after leaving port, within 10 days. That way not too much stuff has been moved around and Hirata can train a replacement if they really need one.

Or that will be a constant hole in the department until Ryuske Domon (Jason Jetter) arrives some years later.

Spoiler for casualties over the course of the series:

One department that didn't seem to get replacements until the third series was the Life Sciences Division. The Science department got a few new people here and there, but not in numbers. Most replacements seem to be Engineering, Combat Teams/Gunnery, Navigation, and the Fighter Squadrons. Though to be fair, it was rare to see the Life Sciences Division taking casualties since they are probably in the most protected depths of the ship...and not near the generally vital areas that keep getting attacked.

Spoiler for casualties over the course of the series: Over the years (series/films) Yamato would go through a lot of crew. Estimated casualties their first year (2199) is 40% dead, their second year (2200), 0% (peace time patrol). Their third year (2201)...86% or more dead. After that the crew's survival rate seemed to get better until Final Yamato, but we have no figures for that. It was certainly better than the War with the Comet Empire, and likely better than the trip to Iscandar. Of course from Be Forever, Yamato until Final Yamato, the ship is nearly invincible. It takes a lot of firepower or desperation on the enemies part to really hurt Yamato between those films. Before that, it didn't take quite as much power to damage Yamato. It just couldn't be stopped. One department that didn't seem to get replacements until the third series was the Life Sciences Division.
