My suspicions were correct as it showed as an enemy ship on the map after it sunk. The reason I want to do these edits is because a sub captain would add these ships to his patrol log for the simple fact that he knows he sunk them, and that he considered them legitimate targets.
Okay, that's pretty cool!

Given that it's only after you finish a patrol and update your patrol log in commander before the names and cargo info is added simulates to me a checking of details by Bdu where the patrol log and details of allied ship losses are compared to get a reasonably accurate record of what was sunk. It's a little detail I know but it's something I wish to implement so I guess I'll just go and experiment myself by editing shipnames.cfg.

Thanks anyway.
Sorry I misunderstood. Also sorry I can't help, because we're way outside my knowledge of how it works. Best of luck with it, though.
