Bingo! The
GATO's were not available out side of Pearl until late 42 early 43 in real life.
Also, that early in the War the Allies - the US didn't have proper facilities for Submarines outside of Pearl; dry-docks etc to clean the hulls of barnacles and other maintenance until mid to late 42 either. That was a high priority to the Brass.
SH4 Stock considers that (surprisinyly). Again, that would be a upc file -
Here's part a stock flotillas file focusing on SOWESPAC:

UBI has it almost right for Stock which is nice. : )
GATO's shouldnt be available in SOWESPAC in SH4 until late 43 early 44. They are a year off. That
1943-12-01 should be,
1942-12-01) .... which is one year more from where you are now (month year), right? In real life you should be able to transfer out of Pearl after November 1942.
Happy Hunting!
