Now that I've upgraded FotRS, and upgraded to a Balao just prior (departing on next mission 7/30/43), I've noticed:
- I have a 4" gun either way, but the gun crew slots disappear if a bow mount is chosen.
- Transferring to Mare Island is successful but the mission objective remains the Carolines instead of training.

The "New Construction" missions were worked on, which is what you get when starting from the Menu, but when you get a new boat, and it's early or late, the missions do not function correctly. I have not come up with a way to "fix" that. You therefore keep the assignment you received when coming in from patrol, prior to the "upgrade". Be sure and see what your Home Base is with the "Transfer" screen prior to departure, and don't forget to stop for fuel at Pearl on your way out (Midway or Johnston Island, if available)... As for the losing the gun crew, that shouldn't, but does happen. That is also a Stock game issue, as well as with most (if not all) mods. This is why we suggest that after you move a deck gun, that you go back to the crew page, and make certain the crew slots followed. If not, then restore the original gun position, and check again. If they came back, Save and go on patrol. Try again later. Sometimes, a Save and exit, and then coming back into the Captain's Office will "fix" the ability to move the gun. Sometimes not. Either way, when you first go on patrol with a "freshly" moved gun, even if you have populated gun crew slots, they will not show on the gun when you go to Battle Stations. If that happens, after departing and getting beyond the Home Base limits (the anchor in the upper-right corner of the screen when on the boat), Save the game, exit, come back in, and Load that Save. Your gun crew should now show when going to Battle Stations. They apparently have to be "initialized", just like several other aspects of the game...

CapnScurvy did some artwork for us on the "cards" that used to come in the box with the game. Those are the "SH4_Q-Ref_Card_Back.jpg" and "SH4_Q-Ref_Card_Front.jpg" images in the main game folder. Printing those out is the easiest way to familiarize yourself with the FotRSU keystrokes, which are different from the original FOTRS and from TMO also. The <C> key gets you the "Chronograph", while <Ctrl>+<M> combo gets your Radio Messages.
