There are set time intervals where a given submarine can be used in any of the fleets, as laid out in flotilas.upc
For example, the Gato is available as of April 18, 1942, but on at Pearl Harbor. You can't use it in the Asiatic fleet until December 1, 1943 or January 1, 1943 in Brisbane.
Of course, I only figured this out after getting my Gato all setup, and in most respects it's better so I prefer to have one. Just, I would avoid accepting it until 1943, or perhaps wait another 6 months and jump straight to a Balao.
Or I could modify the file myself, and I might in the future (if I ever choose to use the USS Seadragon for a full war, I will probably modify the game so that I don't have to take it to Hawaii in mid 1944).
