Strange.  Could you tell us the exact output when starting the 
client with "-d 2" (eg, cut and paste, if possible).  Also 
actually attaching your tilespec and spec files may help us
see what is wrong.

Oh, which exact version of freeciv are you using?  (Probably 
doesn't matter, but never know.)

You mean where in the graphics files?  In tiles.xpm in the group 
of specials near top right underneath the nuclear explosion.  
(At least in the standard graphics files; via spec files you 
could put it anywhere you like, as long as "ts.whales" corresponds
to the right file+position.)
