Not in GFO. Webster did use Carotio's modified Truk Atoll mod (quite a difficult undertaking), which has deepened channels and reefs, but no added traffic. FotRSU (which also has Carotio's mod) will most likely have some of the "parked" vessels before too long, maybe this next version. There was already traffic routed through from the original FotRS mod. Other mods have some traffic also, such as TMO with traffic routed through, and RSRDC has some of the "parked" ships at times, as well as modified TMO routing through.

One of the reasons for Truk being empty is the difficulty with routing traffic in and out of the atoll in stock trim, and not having really bad traffic jams, with ships running into each other and the islands, resulting in a burning inferno in the whole area. Ships in SH4 do not like water that is less than about twice a ship's listed draft figure, so BB generally want 50-70 ft of water to travel in, else their "collision avoidance" AI kicks in, and all kinds of mayhem occurs. That water depth is just not there at Truk in most places.
