Uhm, there are some problems. I tested with attached savegame, which is
from before the load/unload change, though, I think.

Missiles on submarines and airplanes on carriers are not and cannot be
sentried (they most probably were in the savegame).

Unload command is possible, but with no result.

Load is not possible.

Missiles can live on a carrier.
