IGD, the game assigns you a boat. Unless you go in and change the name and number, it's not going to match the boat skin and flags that you have.
As the first post in this thread specifies, the way the mod is meant to work is that you let the game assign a boat and then you check to see if that boat is already "built" (it's not actually built, just the emblem is put on the skin. See the fleet roster on the first page for a list of completed boats). If we've already made the boat, you download it and off you go on your first patrol, sending in patrol reports at the end of a patrol after you've received your last update. If the boat hasn't been built yet, you send in a commissioning request and we put the emblem on the skin and continue as above.
If you want a particular boat, you can go into the .upc files in your saved game and change the name and SS number of the boat to match the boat you want. There's a thread around here somewhere on how to do that and how to force the game to assign you a particular boat, but I can't remember exactly where that's at and I have to get out of here in a few minutes. If you can't find it via the search function (or a google site search), I'll look around for it when I get back this afternoon,
