Well I thought I had a good idea

Also please put back the commisioning date, that was a nice touch.

It cuts off the text if you put it too close to the edge of the image. That's why it's not all the way to the edge of the stern. I figured the stern was better than the front, and definitely better than centered, where it would cover up the conning tower.

As for the commission date, because the same image is used for all the subs in a class, I can't put the commission date for any individual sub. Only the class info.

Now I could put the commission date back in the tooltip. That's for each individual sub. But that would have the same problem as before, printing out in the messages too. It wouldn't be as bad as writing out ALL the info like before, but some might find it annoying.

What do ya'll think?

EDIT: It occurred to me after posting my reply, you might think the text is a separate image superimposed on the sub image. It's actually the sub image with the text added to it. An image or maybe even a box with the info in it probably could be made and positioned in that area of the subsystems screen. But it would require editing of the menu_1024_768.ini file beyond my capabilities. And of course would also conflict with any other mod that changes the menu_1024_768.ini file. If anyone else wants to try it that way though, be my guest.
