If I accept, I get a Balao-class (unimaginatively, the namesake boat of the class). It has a couple problems:
1) consumes no diesel, I zoomed around the Pacific for weeks at flank without dropping below 99/100.
2) Flying Dutchman effect. Though I was forced to Brisbane as my homeport, and it does have the tilted anchor symbol, I can't "End Patrol" there. Only rearm/refuel or postpone.

this is a known problem: early assignment of Balao in 1942-43 as well as the Tench in the following years.
the boat might become available before its time due to a kaleun deserving an upgrade, not all of the equipment on that boat is available, as well as other issues. you are lucky that you did not encounter a CTD as others have.
it is probably best for you to return to your previous Gato via a Savefolder and continue your career until the Balao is officially available later in 1943 as Mios4Me has indicated.
