Ship sunk! Fast Freighter, 13241 tons
Ship sunk! Fast Freighter, 12612 tons

These are the two entries from my captain's log regarding the "fast freighter". They look like larger versions of the large freighter, all three I saw had a dark hull with light/white top and I believe 4 equal height masts. The bridge was located towards the center of the ship fore/aft and took up approximately 1/3 the length of the ship. There were two large gun emplacements, one on the bow the other on the stern, and 6 or 8 smaller gun emplacements on the superstructure and along the rails. The two I saw hit full speed were moving 12-16 knots.

SH Commander doesn't give them names, like it does other ships, so maybe it's an add-on ship? All I know is I'm gonna need more torpedoes if I want to sink one of these AND something other than a fishing boat.
