One option is to silence the collision alarm altogether by editing the wav file, amplify = 0 makes it zero volume. The only time I hear them is in harbors anyway, when a lubberly destroyer crosses the bow of a cruiser trying to dodge torpedoes there's no sound but the crash.
platforme.dat and platforme.zon appear to be files for actual platforms near as I can tell, no ship names or types in those. Hold the phone while I fire up google translate - yep, language detected Romanian, platforme = platformS (plural) in English.
Gotta run the translator whenever there's a doubt, when I first started hacking this game I assumed "carma" was a horrible misspelling of camera, turns out it's Romanian for rudder.
