You should be able to.

I've just had a look at the campaign files for RSRD in the Mission Editor.

In the convoy layer, specific ship types are defined, so you will not see it in a convoy.
I'm not surprised about this.
I spent a couple of evenings reading the RSRD release thread.
It looks as if Lurker used specific ship entries in the convoy layer to mirror as close as possible the historical makeup of each convoy.

The single merchant layer is a different story however.

In the two files I checked, it looks like in this layer 'Gereric Cargo' has been used as the ship type. So the game should choose a cargo ship at random from the Japanese cargo ship roster.

This leads me to believe it should be as easy as adding your new ship folder and roster cfg file via JSGME and you should see it turn up as a non convoy target.

Of course if my reasoning is incorrect, somebody please point out where I have gone wrong
