Should there be a ship type like "Medium Cargo" etc instead of M02X?

No, that is normal. Names like "Medium Cargo" are the names applied by SH3 to the ship class just to identify it for you. IABL used the same names he gave the ships as identifiers. In the readme that comes with the my latest Ship Names file there is a complete list of ship names for Commander with every MFM ship type given a new name based on the class. You can copy and paste that into your 'Sea' folder in the SH3 directory. It will make the Recognition Manual names look like the ones in my latest 'Ship Names' thread. For example, 'M02X' should show up in the manual as 'Brandanger Class Merchant'. Part of the problem there is that for the sake of not giving away what is neutral and what is enemy I've tied 'M02X' to 'M02B' in the ClassMap directory at the top of the 'Ship Names' list.

Then when I returned to base and went to update personal file in SHCommander to see my patrol log it looked like this...
As you can see, some of the ships came through with names and details, but several just came through with M-- and no details.

I'm not sure what the problem is. I've looked over my patrol reports and everything seemed in order. On the other hand I've hardly encountered all the ships, or even half of them. Those same problems may be there for me, and I won't come across them for a long time, if ever. Everything in the files looks okay, but I just don't know.
