Now I do understand the next is kind of off topic, but: the FFG-61(The FFG-7 Oliver Hazard Perry Class) is followed up by the LCS (Freedom & independence class) Letorial Combast Ship, why are these not in game? Or is this just a MOD issue?
My understanding is that the OHP that SCS put in the game is a lengthened-hull version. The earlier shorter-hull versions were not added. I wouldn't be surprised if those ships are actually in LWAMI 3.09 and later as foreign ships, as many of these ships have been retired from USN service and transferred to other countries (Turkey, Egypt, etc.).

The Freedom class LCS is in LWAMI 3.10.

What I don’t fully understand is the multiple MOD options of LWAMI-MOD. The screen at boot up is different if I have the mods turned on as you see them below, or when I have these turned off and only the “all platforms” turned on. TLAM, where can I find the explanation of these differences.
The splash screens are just screens that appear when DW first starts up. It doesn't have any other effect. You can enable one if you choose, or you can choose not to. It makes no difference.

Could it be possible that the 1013 contact is in fact me? When can a SB determine the distance?
No, the bearing error is too great. But you could be 1014 or 1016.
To get range, you can:

(1) get passive contacts from different angles on the contact--the contact's position is where the bearing lines intersect. Use the range circle tool to get the range from your platform to that position.

(2) go to the acoustics station, switch a DiCASS buoy to active mode, enable the buoy, and mark the active contact. The contact displayed on the NAV map will be at the range it was detected.
