OK, to clarify.

SH3 only models ONE name per ship class. So, every C3 Cargo ship you sink gets recorded as "C3 Cargo" (or derivative). There is no way around this within the game.

However, at the end of each patrol, when the player uses SH3Cmdr to update the Commander's Personnel File, SH3Cmdr queries a list of ships (compiled independantly by Observer) and picks out names randomly for, but specifically related to, each class.

These names are then written to SH3's log files. This means that the next time you run SH3, if you look at the patrol summary of any patrol, you will see the new ship names.
