U.S.S. Narwhal and the Aleutian Missions

Do some of you have both the donationware Narwhal, and the Aleutian mission pack? If you do, I just did something that most of you may have already done, but for the ones that haven't....here it is.
There's a mission involving the Narwhal. Inserting troops onto Kiska Island. There was no Narwhal when the missions were created, so they used the Salmon, and called it the Narwhal.
I decided to go to the mission file and replace the Salmon with the right boat model. Figured, what the hell. If I screwed it up, I'd just put the Salmon back. Well, I'll be damned. It worked. I jumped into the mission, and there was my Narwhal.
Fun mission. On the way there, I got jumped by a destroyer. We went around for awhile. I fired three fish at him and missed. He depth charged the hell out of me. I decided that discretion was the better part of valor....and ran. Besides, we were hurt. Forward torpedo tubes out of action and damaged batteries. I needed to surface. Once I was far enough away I surfaced the boat and met up with the Nautilas. We headed for Attu.
Once there we lowered the rafts. I had to laugh! The little boat capsized but those brave little G.I.'s kept right on rowing with the paddles flailing the air. I got a congratulation message from Pearl, and orders to head back to Dutch Harbor. I could hunt along the way.
But no hunting for us. Tubes weren't yet repaired, and the batteries wouldn't come back to a full charge. Stayed on the surface all the way home and hoped we wouldn't spot that damned DD again.
Made it back to Dutch Harbor without any kills but it was still a great mission.
Anyway, just go into the Narwahl mission file. Open it with notebook and change "SSSalmon," to "SSNarwhal." That's all there is to it.
