I'm assuming that if you do it in the EnglishNames.cfg it's going to show whatever nationality that was edited in regardless of what flag the ship was flying when it was rendered in the game.

Correct. SH3 works off ship class id, so if ten nationalities have an NTS01 ship class in their roster, then whatever label that id is given in EnglishNames.cfg is what will be recorded in your log file. FWIW SH3Cmdr maps to ship class id as well.

Exactly. And exclusive ships like German warships and such can be labelled "German <class name>", or "Australian Bathurst Class minesweeper" etc and so on.

Could named units for other classes of ships be added in to their cfg files in the same fashion, or is that way too much data that would have to be loaded when the game is running?

Doesn't work. Seems an incomplete feature.
