I'm in a Tambor, date is ~September or October in 1942.

The deck gun thing seems to be a date issue something is not supposed to be available at this date.

You might try loading up the auto save entering port and not taking the new boat or if that is not an option do not request a deck gun position different than the one you had before.

If that doesn't work take your boat out for a short patrol, two weeks or so (lots of high TC) and try again. There are still some bugs in the game.

Thanks for your replies, but I'm unsure what to make of the information in said thread. While the problem at hand seems to be related if not the same, I can't seem to grasp the direct link to the problem I described.

I went back out for over a month and my deck gun is still gone ... hope I get a new boat soon

Well, you must have only glanced through the thread. It references a bug in TMO 2.5 where everyone gets stuck with a Tambor Class sub with no further upgrade, and including the deck gun problem. It also offers a fix or a patch that can be applied. You have to start a new career though, after applying the fix or the patch.
I installed the manual fix and the problem seems to be solved, though I'm not completely sure if this solves the DG bug too.
