The DD window/slot is simply blank, no boxes to add crew. I survived my mission and returned to Pearl thinking (hoping) everything would be back to norm when I repurchased the aft DD. My hopes were dashed against the rocks, when after purchasing the aft gun the blank window/slot remained.

Does anyone know how to rectify this problem? I am certain it would kill me if I had to return to a Porpoise and restart my career (for the umpteenth time).
Yes it's a common issue, Deck Gun & missing Deck Gun crew fixes that involve simple text editing with NotePad in your
My Documents\SH4\data\cfg\SaveGames\00000005 (or whatever your most recent in Port save number is) \ActiveUserPlayerUnits.upc file.

Here are some good threads that will help you fix it:

At least we can fix it now. Usually happens if you change the gun from fore to aft or vice versa from where it was when first installed.

Happy Hunting!
