Oh and I'm running stock v1.5

It also appears to ignore when you receive a new command.

I started in the Porpoise then was transferred to the Drum, but when I run the program on the post First Patrol savegame it still says USS Porpoise.
Okay, maybe something is corrupt in your install... (??)
... or, more likely, are you making a fresh save just before returning to base, maybe call it, "Last Save" then resume your patrol into port and End your patrol. You would then double click "Last Save" to try making your report using the tool. That might fix it....

I'm using Stock v1.5 for this example, except my roster includes hull numbers, so basically thee same conditions as yours:

Report tool recognized 'new' command, from USS Pampanito (SS-383) to USS Skate (SS-305):
Quote:
190101 APR 1944
Report from USS Skate (SS-305)
Patrol area : Pearl SpecOPS 08
"ton" is correct in the program, not tons:
'Large Old Passenger Carrier' includes the " r " in "Carrier".
Quote:
040155 APR 1944
Ship sunk! Large Old Passenger Carrier, 9557 ton
Long 130° 27' E, Lat 26° 10' N
- although I'd prefer to list the Lat first and would usually hand edit it to Lat _, Long _:
Lat 26° 10' N, Long 130° 27' E

He removed the "'s" in "Precipitation " through the program so that is correct:
Quote:
141501 APR 1944
Clouds Partly, Precipitation None, Fog None
Wind Speed 8 meters per second, direction 231.
- I learned meters per second can easily be converted to mph:
meters per second x (roughly) 2 = mph
.... and:
(roughly) 0.5 meters per second = 1 knot.... to help you decide what to wear on deck.... lol

See if a fresh "Last Save" helps because I'm stumped...

Happy Hunting!
