[REL] Playable Northampton Heavy Cruiser

I have played with three of these ships, putting the King George, New Mexico, Victory in as the single ship files with JSGME, and its very nice to be able to control them, and I'm glad someone has decided to finally have a bash at making the stock ships playable in SH4......but there is a problem.
These ships won't defend themselves!
With other playable ships from other modders, the ships will only start defending themselves when someone on watch says "ship spotted", and then the choice box comes up asking if you want to continue with the current orders, or do you want to engage the enemy ship, (merchant or IGN navy combatant) or enemy aircaft, but this doesn't seem to be happening with these ships.....they just keep saying "we are under attack sir".
They aren't spotting the enemy, so the allied ship can defend itself.
Must be a problem with the watch crew or something maybe?
This needs correcting, or these ships are just gonna get a pounding and visit Davy Jones locker.
The UZO isn't working either.....you can't access it.....I usually use the UZO if I'm firing manually at other ships, so their distance can be locked, and shown, and then you can use that distance info - and transfer it to the main battery.

Anyway, hope you can sort this out, KGV looks pretty neat. (I'm a Brit)
