I seem to have discovered a definite bug: I'd like others to help me confirm this though.

In any submarine, if you use the periscope stadimeter and ship lookup database (Within the periscope station), the game will immediately crash once the filter reaches any "Civilian" labeled ship.

This makes the periscope useless for ranging which is unfortunate as it's one of the fastest ways to identify a target and pinpoint its location. Pretty important for electric boat drivers in particular.

Edit: This does not appear to crash the seawolf and platforms which use the seawolf interface. The Akula II (And maybe other Akulas?) are also free from this issue. It seems the 688i interface and kilo interface are susceptible to this crash. Would appreciate help from others in determining which platforms are susceptible to this bug.
