if you tell me that it is a native-SH4-thing, i believe you, but i have never seen that behaviour previously.

OK - Gotcha... so prior to any sub sensor. You are talking about the icon that the "Report" would generate then... I do not recall off the top of my head where that comes from, and I'm at the wrong computer to look... "Data / Menu / GUI / Units" for the images? but I am drawing a blank on the NavMap text right now... it should be change-able.

Again, not being at the right computer, and I cannot remember which boats are transferred to "MareIsland", which should be HuntersPointCommand instead... if I named it that... sheesh. short-term memory is losing its charge... lol - but the main problem is that Hunter's Point definitions were left out of the file, and most of the boats sent to Mare are not defined there either... The Balao (to Fremantle), Gato (to Pearl), and Gar (to Midway) are safe to choose, but the others are not defined at Mare, and will most likely crash the game if played until transfer date.
The plan for the future was to have choices at Mare Island Naval Yard, Treasure Island Naval Station, Hunter's Point Naval Yard, and San Diego Naval Base as "re-fit" locations for specific boats, as well as new career start locations. The problem with a re-fit location is the timing of the missions and the transfer. Get there too soon, and it renders the location unusable. Get there too late, and you have already been transferred before you are able to start - witness WH4K above being early... There most likely is not an elegant way to do "re-fits", unfortunately. The game marches to the beat of a different drummer, and unfortunately is easily distracted by dates...
