Unable to access Captain's desk and sub modifier table

[-Romanus-]

Ok so I would happen to guess they really aren't called that, but alas without the real names I improvise. Hope you know what I mean, if you don't I posted a pic link below.

So, after I got back from patrol I was excited about getting new toys and recieving two new crew members on my viib, but when I went into the "Before Mission" screen I found myself unable to access either the Captains table(with promotions, medals etc) or the Sub Mod Table(to customize your boat). As you can see in the picture my mouse is over it but it isnt lighting up and can't be selected.

Is it a problem with my game, or is there an ingame-problem? I looked at the WW2 timeline and other than Operation Sea Lion being called off it didn't look like there was anything going on during that month. Thanks.
