Default

mazzi, I am guessing it goes back to the use of Default1 and Default2 for the Tench, which was used so that there is an "upgrade" path if a player gets the boat early. However, KaleunMarco had a Sargo, and skipped the Tambor, Gato & Balao boats for upgrades. I don't know if he scored that well throughout his career and refused new boats, or if he had a stellar last patrol, or what, but he got a Tench boat as an upgrade reward. His Tench, when issued in February 1945, apparently did not have the ST Radar, even though the ST is active in January 1945. He might be trying to do the upgrade again, but with an edited Tench.upc file that has only a Default1 line for the periscope radar head - which is the piece he was missing. All else was in place. A player cannot purchase an ST radar, since it has several pieces in multiple "slot" and "equipment" sections. It is not set-up like the SJ...
