Default timezones in SHIV

I examined straight the timezones in SHIV.

I started a career in Pearl on Dez. 11. 1941 and related to these data

http://aa.usno.navy.mil/cgi-bin/aa_pap.pl

- sunrise should be at 07:00am, in SHIV the sunrise is at 06:00am
- sunset should be at 05:51pm, in SHIV the sunset is at 04:51pm
game time is exact 1 hour to early!!!

then I set a course to Tokyo Bay

behind the Midway islands there should be the date line, but it is not implemented in SHIV

arrived at the Tokyo Bay I investigate again the sunrise/sunset

data for Dez. 22. 1941
http://aa.usno.navy.mil/cgi-bin/aa_pap.pl

- sunrise should be at 06:46am, in SHIV the sunrise is at 10:46am
- sunset should be at 04:28pm, in SHIV the sunset is at 08:28pm

the onboard time is still
Hawaii-Aleutian Standard Time in this career scenario, therefore I and some others think it was a bug, if the sun rise at noon time. We have ignored the different timezones:hmm:
