Thanks leo - I am using a JSGME mini-mod to do my gun-tweaking, but it does look like I hosed up my .sim file somehow in all the tweaking - I dropped back to a stock .sim file, and the game is recognizing the numbers I stick in there (via minitweaker) for AP, HE and AA shells again just fine. However, it's not doing anything with the SS numbers I put in there, and based on your info above it sounds like it won't unless those other files are tweaked too. Since that's way beyond my current skill/info level with this stuff, I'll have to wait until some other enterprising modder makes this available in easy JSGME format, or until I find some authentic reports of US subs actually using star shells to give me enough incentive to try to dig into those other files and figure out how to make all that work.
