A good place to start is Flotillas.upc in the \Data\UPCData\UPCCampaignData\ folder on the US side. It will show you the changes Flotilla 2 makes from Manila to Surabaya to Fremantle over a relatively short period of time.

Tied in with Flotillas.upc in the same folder is CareerStart.upc and (not as important right now) CareerTrack.upc

Use a text editor like Notepad to look at these files.

If you do a search for "Flotillas.upc" you may find some tutorials and good explanations posted by people struggling to understand this information (even years ago) in the SH4 forums and sub-forums:

SH4 Fleet Boat Mods Workshop
SH4 Mission Designers' Forum

I see propbeanie and I are repying at the same time. Add his name to a search because he posted some good information on this Topic recently.

------ also in your SaveGames folder - in Port and on patrol with some of these:
(from Kim Ronhof)

Replayinfo.rep this file saves the name of the mission (the name you save the game under in SH4)

ActiveUserPlayerUnits.upc - the name of the boat is saved here.

SaveData.clg – the ships that have been sunk are saved her with date time and location. This is where the actual information is located.

SaveData.crp – many crew remarks are saved here – the Torpedo firing data is taken from the crew remarks (ex. "Firing tube 2, sir!")

GamePlaySettings.cfg – the information of the level of realism is saved here

CareerTrack.upc – Career information, your Name, Rank, Boat and patrol Area is stored here.
