The pre file places emphasis on Cwlth names, the post includes Yank names. It doesn't matter how many ships are actually in the game, it just assumes that players (at least those who take the game relatively seriously) would not sink too many Yank ships prior to Dec 1941.
Not only could I do that, but I would be glad to. The problem is I have no idea how the files should be named. If the Random or Date functions can be made to apply them properly it would be a great thing. Of course I don't know how to do that either.

@ NoGoodLandLubber: You asked if you could help. Are you any good at learning that kind of thing?
