Assigning Commander to premium ship requires retraining

[Fluffington]

Assigned commander from Premium ship to another ship and then back again.  Requires retraining both times.  This should not be the case with premium ships

Premium ship benefits:

• No research required (all modules unlocked and mounted).
• More credits earned in each battle.
• Permanent camouflage that increases the amount of Experience gained (+50% for Tiers II-VIII, +100% for Tiers IX-X).
• Reduced service costs.
• Elite status from the start (use doubloons  to convert all your XP to Free XP).
• Assigning commanders from other ships of the same nation without penalty or retraining.

What ship was the captain on before De Grasse?

[Fluffington]

Charles Martel

I moved the commander from De Grasse to Charles Martel and then a while later moved him back to De Grasse.  My understanding of  "Assigning commanders from other ships of the same nation without penalty or retraining. " was that I could do that without penalty.  It would appear the game has retained his training requirement for Charles Martel however he should be working on his level 15 points whilst in command of the De Grasse.

Your De Grasse captain would need to be retrained for the CM. Putting a captain from. A tech tree ship back into a premium. Does not incur any penalty.   In your case you have not paid for 100% retraining from DG to CM so the captain still needs to train back to 100%. 

[Fluffington]

Putting him back to the CM resets the counter.  I am now back to 75000 exp required but I had already achieved 40+k in the DeGrasse.  That appears now to be lost effort

Because you don’t have dedicated captains in premiums. You leave them empty and only move tech tree captains into them.
