New Guy looking for Clarification

A few questions from a SH3 n00b. Bear with me fellas.

First off, I’ve only been playing seriously for a couple of weeks. Now when I say “seriously” I’m no where close to where some of the members here are. I’m happy if my torps hit something when I do auto targeting. I’m just using the version I downloaded back in May. No mods as of yet. On to the questions.

First off, excuse my computer dumbness

but how do I know if I installed patch 1.4b (I think that’s it). Apparently I downloaded it but have no idea if it’s installed. And what does it fix.

Secondly, in regards to crew promotions, are only the guys highlighted in blue eligible? For some of those clasps every darn guy is highlighted. (I think I need SH3 commander)

Lastly (for now) I’m confused about the way the game saves. When I save in a patrol and exit the game it shows as the save I named and then “in base after patrol” and “in base before patrol” Why does it do that?

Thanks in advance and thanks to all the helpful posts and links that I’ve read over the past few days. I was definitely on SH3 information overload Wednesday and Thursday.

I’m sure I’ll have more questions as I get farther along.
