On the main menu of Silent Hunter 5 with TDW's NewUI installed you'll see an option towards the bottom called "Ship's Journal" with the word "None" below it.
If you click on "None" you'll get a little dialog that lets you select or create a journal. Go ahead and create one called "MyJournal". This will return you to the main menu and now instead of saying None, it will say MyJournal.
That has created a file that will keep track of all your journal entries until you change that value.
So now you start a patrol and enjoy life on the open seas. When it comes time to end your play session you must choose Exit to Main Menu instead of Exit to Windows. Doing so will bring up a new window after you've exited the menu asking if you wanted to save your information to your journal. Save it all.
Now, next time you start a patrol enter the game, open the in game journal and choose "Load Journal". Type in the name of the journal you're using "MyJournal" and load it. Now all the of the destroyed marks, nav and SM marks and journal entries from your previous play session are now available in this new session.
