New boat availability is found in the flotilla.upc file. If you start at Freemantle command and you want to remain there do not elect to take one until the Gatos become available. All transfers until then will transfer you to Pearl. Since I don't like the missions from Pearl, I always turn down any new boats before 1942 ends. Taking on the Luzon invasion fleet, evading the many escorts, sinking a few troop ships and getting away is too much fun to miss.
