Default not particularly but

they do add some variety to an anchorage. The Bonaventure interests me because she's the depot ship for the British X-Craft Submarines.

But that is one interesting ship, the Drache was it? Man can you imagine a match up with Graf Zeppelin or Aquilla? An alternate history commando movie - Get the Ark Royal (or Illustrious or something) where the Brandenburger Commandos launch an airborne landing on the Ark Royal while the Me109s and Stukas cover and suppress the AAA of the carrier. Major propaganda coup for Nazi Germany... except there happens to be an ex-Royal Marine Commando who's now a cook in the galley of the ship (played by Steven Seagal LOL)

But seriously that's a neat little ship. It's such a pity we can't move stuff around the model. It could be a Flower maybe or a German escort ship with one funnel deleted.

Another thing I noticed, trawlers of this period look virtually alike - one tall slim funnel to the rear, a boxy bridge structure and one or two guns, one at the very bow the other at the stern. That ship really should be in the game...
