In response to your PM, after looking at your files. Your ship doesn't work because it is still a ship, it needs to be a sub.
First, find Mikhayls tutorial on "newsub" (if you haven't done it already) to make the ship stand alone, so it won't conflict with the AI Colorado.
Next, Xantro and Mikhayl both have posted info for making it a sub. I will list some stuff off the top of my head, don't know if I will get it all.

From a working sub:
1. .upc file If you use a separate tower you need that or need to add the compartments and info to your sub upc file.
2. subs cfg file
3. subs .cam file
4. In the ship .sim file change AiShip to Sub like it is in the sub file. Change the unit ship to unit sub from sub.sim Add wpn_SubTorpedoSys from sub.sim.
5. In ship dat file add subs front and rear dive planes, at least one torpedo tube with all anims and link tubes and dive planes to the .sim file (It will be listed where they go)

In the subs upc file set your playable guns in Deck guns and AA guns. If you decide to make a Turret playable as a deck gun you have to take it out of gunsradar.dat,sim etc. and make it 'stand alone' with new name and remap IDs. Then add to the UpgradePacks in UnitParts.upc or upcge depending if it's german or not. Then add to Weapons.upc and link to UpgradePacks and .upc Upgradepactslots.

I am sure I have probably miissed some stuff, but that will get you started in the right direction.
