Can't upgrade ship designs

[Jamison]

Playing as the United States, I can't get the same class of destroyer hull to upgrade. What dumbass thing am I doing?

Note: Subs worked fine

not sure what you want us to see from those pictures

To refit select the individual ship or ships in the task force and hit the refit button in the task force panel
You have the task force itself selected which won't work

In the first picture I was showing that there is no upgrade button next to the ships, just the task force insignia.

In the second picture I was showing that I had two upgraded templates corresponding to the same hull type/year.

In a last ditch effort I tried matching the icons (gun icon on new template, gun icon on the old template...this was to no avail)

I have the old template decommissioned, and the new templates commissioned.

I was able to upgrade my S Class hulls just fine, not sure what is going on with the destroyer hulls.

If anyone else has this issue, I recommissioned the Farragut Class (default with shield icon), and the Clemson Class destroyers became upgradeable. Sadly I still can't upgrade the original Farragut Class destroyers.

Don't pay attention to the button on each ship - use the upgrade button in the TF action panel with whatever selection of ships you want to upgrade (yes - more than one at a time).

yeah, just saw a video on that. As one can tell, my observation skills were sorely lacking. Normally I'm not so stupid.

Is this a feature exclusive to the expansion, or is there a way to upgrade ships in Ironclad as well? Am I stupid/blind?

Ships classes that are marked as obsolete cannot be upgraded. So take all those obsolete classes and unmark them as obsolete. This is an obvious bug where they meant the rule to be that only obsolete ships would have the upgrade icon.

Only available in the expansion.

Figures. So now we can refit planes and tanks to take advantage of the vanilla modification system, but not navies which are eminently more expensive and slower to produce. Delightful.

Ah, well. Thanks for the answer, even though I was hoping I was just stupid.
