In real life, it was spelled Port Swettenham, which is present day Port Klang Malaysia. It was named after Sir Frank Swettenham, a British explorer in 1901.
Has anyone overlooked this? Does anyone know about this? How come Bounganville is spelled "Bourganville on the map, also?

In my post above I was referring to the name such as Islands, Seas,Ocean, etc. And the names come from .dds files.
But the OP asked about Port Swettenham and that is a Harbor and those names are in the Campaign_LOC.mis because they are added in the mission editor when you place the harbor. So to fix that IS a simple text edit. You can open the Campaign_LOC.mis in notepad and fix this line:

[MapLocation 651]
Type=0
Priority=1
Title=Port Sweetenham
Heading=0.000000
OnLand=false
ShowOnMap=true
FirstRenderStep=false
FileName2D=Small_Pacific_Harbor_II.dds
FileName3D=Small_Pacific_Harbor_II.dat
LocationName=Port Swettenham <-----Fix the spelling in this line to have it show on the map.
