Default Upgrade on the Porpoise

on the two 1943 missions, we took damage, including hull damage, and attained a mission rating of two in each.

And so, it continues to play out in the US Pacific portion of SH4 that a conning tower upgrade requires multiple (consecutive?) missions with damage incurred and a mission rating greater than 0. It seems, and I stress seems, that a mission rating of three disqualifies the upgrade. Twos and ones seem to cause the upgrade.

dang it all, blast it....
we finally get access to the half-cut conning tower and now the SJ radar won't power up.
we had a working SJ set with the old/original conning tower.

i searched the archives and found some ancient posts (2007-2010) with CapnScurvy discussing date conflict difficulties (June 31, that old chestnut) but those issues have been resolved in my installation.

so, what other issues cause a recently added SJ radar during a conning tower refit to not power up?
