Why do these HQs have a little n next to them.

As I understand it, they are command headquarters not fleet headquarters.

Is this a mistake?

They actually are. There are 9 HQn Japan units in Stock 1 Scenario: 7 of them are NavalHQ, and 2 (4th Fleet and Southeast Area Fleet) are CommandHQ in the LCU tab

Anyone can check it in their game by starting Stock 1 scenario as Japan. Takes like 3 min

I don't care what you or others think, the code trumps your beliefs.

I looked them up in the editor before posting. 4th Fleet and Southeast Area Fleet are HQ types 21 and 25 respectively in scenario 1. That makes them Naval HQs. As opposed to the Japanese HQs which are HQ type 109 and therefore Command HQs.

When michaelm introduced the graphic improvement of appending the lower case identifiers to HQs he did not create a new HQ type. The identifiers merely state in visual format what the code says is the HQ type. Therefore an appended "n" automatically identifies it as a Naval HQ, just as a "c" identifies it as a Corps HQ, an "a" as an Air HQ et al. All directly from the code.

The code allows for a single type of HQ to be attributed to a single HQ unit. Multiple HQ types attributed to a unit are not possible.

... 4th, Southeast AND 5th fleet are considered as theatre commands in Scen one, and multiple land locations and land units are related to their command, and if any of the units under their command conquers a new location, that shall befall under their jurisdiction respectively, etc...even though all of them are fleet commands , as well and at the same time...this is also a fact, very clear one...
What the implications of this, I don't know...your insight seems pointing out that in spite of them being theatre commands, they shall not bestow command benefits to the units under their command radius...indeed?

Alfred is quite correct, but there are some other things going on. The confusion arises from 4th Fleet, 5th Fleet, and Southeast Area Fleet being attached to themselves; i.e., they do not report to a ‘higher’ HQ. They are, therefore, at the top of their respective OOB reporting trees (kinda ‘theater’ level). Being such a ‘top-level’ HQ has certain implications for attachment (think PPs, base capture ownership, etc..) but does not imply anything else. They “look” like command HQs when one looks at the attachment menu screen, because they are in the left-most position, like other command HQs. But this does not signify command status.

As Alfred says, the “only” way an HQ is identified as a “Command” HQ, for purposes of code adders, is if it has a “10” in the HQ-Type field. 4th Fleet and Southeast Area Fleet are both “2”, so they are not Command, but Naval HQs even though they are ‘top-level’.

You can not care as well, but it's a fact that 4th, Southeast AND 5th fleet are considered as theatre commands in Scen one, and multiple land locations and land units are related to their command, and if any of the units under their command conquers a new location, that shall befall under their jurisdiction respectively, etc...even though all of them are fleet commands , as well and at the same time...this is also a fact, very clear one...

... So the lack of command designation in the code must mean you do not get the benefits of a command HQ ...

i have screen shots of the hqs i did with paint

How do i post them here

They clearly describe both 4th and SE as Command Headquarters

and Fleet 1, 2, and 3 as Naval Headquarters.

• The editor tells you they are Naval HQs and therefore for all game purposes are only Naval HQs
  
• At the bottom of the Truk base screen both units display the Naval HQ type icon, not the Command HQ type icon
  
• The range of the two units is not consistent with that normally associated with a Command HQ
