You also need to change the entry in the CareerTrack.upc file here-->>

[CareerTrack 1.CareerStatusSave 60]
ID=ID
Reason=CSS_OfferNewCommand
NameDisplayable=
CurrentDate=1943-06-11 13:59:16
OfferedUserPlayerUnitIDLink=Gato

[CareerTrack 1.CareerStatusSave 61]
ID=ID
Reason=CSS_NewCommand
NameDisplayable=USS Bowfin (SS-287)
CurrentDate=1943-06-11 13:59:16
UserPlayerInstanceDisplayableName=USS Bowfin (SS-287)
UserPlayerUnitIDLink=Balao

You find this entry at the end of the file itself; be sure to save right after you are assigned a new sub. If you remember to alter this line, all your subsequent medal citations will read your new sub's name.
