I'm working on my own version of the ONI-208J for Silent Hunter, but before I go off and reinvent the wheel there is one question I'm hoping someone here can answer. Do the ships in the ID book represent actual Japanese WW2 hull forms or were they modeled specifically for Silent Hunter? The reason I'm asking is that the Converted Factory Ship looks suspiciously like a Troopship with one deck missing.

I'm attempting to identify the ships in the ID books by actual name based on the images in the ID book and the tonnages given in Silent Hunter. If these ships are actually all fictional, then that makes my job slightly harder.

Thanks!

Christopher
