New ship types in 1.3?

[UnSalted]

Playing the 1.3 patch, no mods.

Coming up the Solomons I ran into two ships and set up for aft topredoes, the usual.
When I got them on the TDC I noticed something new. They were called Small Old Engine Aft. Sank them with one torp each. When I checked the log I was credited with two tankers.

Is it just me or weren't they called Small Old Tankers in previous versions? Anyone else spotted new types or names?

I can confirm this. Seen this as well. Types were tanker but noted as 'Small Old Engine Aft'.

Think Tater explained it here:

I haven't seen one yet myself, but then I haven't had but an hour or so to mess with 1.3 :(

Well, 1.3 does contain the Colorado class BB for the US. So there is one new unit, anyway.:cool:
