That is based on the American system of identifying ships by the layout. 'F' stands for funnel, 'K' is for kingpost (cargo hoist) and 'M' is for mast. In the US recognition manuals all ships of similar layout are grouped together so it's quick and easy to find the ship type under observation. On the other hand the Germans system was nothing like that, at least as far as I'm aware.

I use Op Monsun, but I don't use OMEGU for that very reason, that it changes a lot more than just the environment.
