I read about TMO 2.1 and just down loaded that too. I tried to install it after 2.0 while I was in port but when I loaded up the game it did not take because Hogans Alley was still there.
Yes you will have to start a new career game.

Why you ask?

Because the game keeps a copy of your subs configuration in the save game file in MyDocuments. The game uses this file when loading/managing your career game. It does not take the sub configuration from the games data file with a game that is in progress unless you get a new command.

When you create a career game, Silent hunter 4 reads the sub configuration from the data files ONCE, and then creates a separate copy of that in MyDocuments. It then, for as long as you command that submarine, will use the copy in mydocuments since it reads and writes to it. Hence, any changes made to the sub configuration in the games data files will not reflect in a game in progress.
