The reason you don't see the Troop ships and submarine tenders is that there weren't very many of them. Cargo vessels probably outnumbered passinger/troop ships at least 6 to 1, and were too valuble to be risked carrying cargo, but cargo vessels were often used to transport troops. The small number of sub tenders would spend most of their time at base, so you would not be likely to see them. Some of the minelayers/sweepers were used as improvised escorts, so they might be encountered more often.
