Are there any restrictions how many letters that can be typed after each shipnames?
And is it possible to add info if i want and if so, how do i do it so it show up in patrol log?

Example is: In the cfg file.

0010=S.S. Adamandios Georgandis

I try to add this so it show up:

0010=S.S. Adamandios Georgandis. COMPLIMENT: 55 (41 dead and 14 survivors). The Ship was torpedoed amidships by one of two torpedoes. The ship sank by the stern after being hit by a coup de grāce. The master, 28 crew members and twelve passengers were lost. Nine crew members, one gunner and four passengers were picked up by the British merchant Bernardo II and landed safe in port 10 days later.


I know its a mega work and that shipnames is random for many different shiptypes ingame so therefor i have to keep the text so it can fit to nearly all ships , no matter if its a tanker or a small merchant.
And i was just planning to add this to some of the shipnames and not all.
It could be fun reading when i check the patrol log to se some info about the sinking on some of the ships.

I was gona use Uboat.net site as a reference.
You can, but gee it would look messy, notwithstanding the fact that SH3 would either truncate most of the text anyway or at worst CTD due to text overload.

Your log entry would look like this:

Ship sunk!
Grid DH 53
S.S. Adamandios Georgandis. COMPLIMENT: 55 (41 dead and 14 survivors). The Ship was torpedoed amidships by one of two torpedoes. The ship sank by the stern after being hit by a coup de grāce. The master, 28 crew members and twelve passengers were lost. Nine crew members, one gunner and four passengers were picked up by the British merchant Bernardo II and landed safe in port 10 days later. (Tramp Steamer), 2978 tons

But try it. As far as your Personnel File is concerned, everything should look OK...but this is of little benefit if SH3 chokes...
