You need to go to C:\Documents and Settings\yourname\My Documents\SH4\data\cfg\SaveGames\ and find the save game you wish to edit.

There are two files you need to edit.

One is Careertrack.upc just open it up with notepad and do a search for you boat's current name, then change it to the name of your choice. The other file you need is ActiveUserPlayerUnits.UPC

ActiveUserPlayerUnits.UPC looks a little like this

[UserPlayerUnit 1]
ID=Porpoise
NameDisplayable=Porpoise
UnitName=USS Perch <<< rename the sub here. If you look around, you can change the names of the crew of your sub as well.

There's another folder called UPCInitial .Open this and you'll find files of the same name. Change these also if you dont have a UPCInitial folder in the saved game folder.

Best to set these files to read-only because SH4 has a habit of undoing your changes. once you save ingame you don't have to worry about renaming it again. unless you make a new career
