Hence, SH3Cmdr has no way of knowing either. It's OK for the warships that weren't shared, but not for those that were (ie Flower and Clemson DD) or indeed for any merchant ship or tanker sunk.
This has come up once before, with the tentative solution being perhaps that some of the more nationality specific ship names are removed from the ship names list. But this won't address the "S.S." aspect.
I'm open to suggestions. :hmm:

Hmmm - that's too bad about SH3 not keeping track of the countries for the ship sinkings. Is there any way to make the names in the log/personnel file editable later on? Once we have the ability to make our own entries into our logs during the game (assuming you mod geniuses get it working, per the above posts), I figured that ship nationality would definitely be one of the things I would be writing down in my log entries whenever I had been able to determine it during the attack - and if so then I would be able to go back later and add the nationality to the corresponding ship names 'cause I would in essence be tracking them manually already in my log entries.
At any rate, where does the "S.S." come from? Is it hardcoded into some game function, or was it just included with all the ship names in whatever text or .cfg file or whatever file stores those names? I wouldn't mind going through and editing out stuff if that's all it takes.
Thanks again for all the great work.
Good luck and good hunting!
