It all comes down to waht the individual user wants, I guess. Of course, you could always delete a few of the entries and leave the rest so that you will continue to get a combination of scripted stock ships and random new ships. :hmm:
As for the Converted Whale Factory Ship - This type of ship represents the large whale processing ships which used to be used for harvesting large species of whales. The one which I have built is not a purpose-built factory ship, but one converted out of an old ocean liner. Converted whale factory ships could have varied appearances, and others were converted out of old freighters or tankers. Converted Japanese whale factories often seemed to have been converted tankers - US, UK, Norwegian, and German ones most often appeared to have been large freighters or medium liners. It seems to me that these ships often travelled independently, or hunted for whales in groups away from other merchant ships. However, I have read of instances in which they were included in convoys. Therefore, they would not have appeared in too many convoys historically.
