To a new boat, yes. To a new flotilla, I thought it did not transfer? The problem is that I selected 1st Flotilla, and as of late-1943, the most current submarine I can purchase (and currently have) is the VIIC/41. It didn't seem like much of an upgrade. It had more places for heavy flak guns, but I don't even mess with shooting at airplanes, so that seemed a little pointless. I did notice that there were several additional component upgrades available, after I purchased that boat, but I think most of them would have been available for the VIIC I had before I purchased the 41.
