Standard TWoS install disables officer ID ability.
The normal way is to find the ship in the rec. manual, track target, and press the "send mast height to TDC" text. This sets the type even if the text doesn't reflect it.
I looked up the video mentioned and it is of another version of the game which has interactive text for setting type. TWoS doesn't do this. It's just "the target." There's no need to specify a type. The only thing which is related to type is sending mast height to stadimeter for ranging and this is only a luxury. There is no problem for you to set it manually with mouse wheel equal to the book number.
In TWoS press the clipboard button and you should see a "tab" of the rec. manual on the left edge of the screen. Drag it out to use and find the ship in the book with your eyes and brain.
