Q: Since this is a graphics-based mod I shouldn't have to be in port before applying changes, correct?

A: Yes, it's just a texture mod, easy on/off via JSGME...now having said that...no Promises and use at own risk if installing out of Port and/or during a Patrol, starting a career, on Leap Year, under a full moon, etc.

Q: WHAT DO ALL THOSE SYMBOLS MEAN ANYWAYS?
A: Good question, you came to the right place Mate

( We would love to hear more from a RL expert/boat veteran )
