as mentioned RSRDC greatly reduces ship traffic in an effort to be realistic but this means you have to learn which shipping lanes were used during which time periods (google search) and that's where you will find the ships so unless you want to have to be in the right place during the right time periods in order to find targets then I suggest you remove RSRDC mod and play without it and you will run across ships more often.
I wish the RSRDC mod had concentrated more on getting the type and number of of ships that make up convoys and task forces to be more realistic rather then removing ALL traffic from the game that wasn't mentioned in historical data. IMO knowing when and where to find ships is more unrealistic and feels more like cheating then the stock shipping does. I understand the concept of repeating history but that in and of itself is a cheat because it is known. being able to go park at intersection "x" and wait for convoy "y" to come to you isn't my cup of tea and I wished he had not scripted things based so much on history but rather created his own version "based on" history but not recreate history so you never knew where and when to find anything but just a general idea where to find "some" ships
