[Flotilla 5.Base 1]
ID= Tulagi Sub Base
NameDisplayable= Tulagi Sub Base, Tulagi
ExternalBaseName= Tulagi Sub Base

That was it Peabody. Lol, man, I looked at those files a hundred times and missed it EVERY time. 
...And as a now irrelevant side note Midway was #4 and worked like a champ.
Thanks a bunch fellas,
I'm gonna go buy some new glasses.

 No problem, I am a beginner and don't know a lot but I'll help when I can. That was the reason I asked if you could post the files. The mistake isn't always where you think it is.  This time it was in the US_NavalBases.mis, not in the files you showed us.
Just as a side note about the #4 for beginners who may read this. It was a possibility because there is a Flotilla4 but it is commented out. But beginners to modding may not know that the semicolon in front of the lines means the game ignores those lines. So jmardlin came up with an idea I didn't think of, that maybe you had done 5 and 6 instead of 4 and 5.
I still don't understand the commonality stuff in there.
