Not exactly.

Do you know how the RND layer works?

Example:

In the campaign files/mission editor, you build a convoy which has either generic/specific entries.

Now, these entries have a percentage chance of being added to the convoy in game. So, all that's happened is that the smaller vessels have a greater chance of being loaded into the game, whereas the larger vessels have a lessened chance.

On you next reload, you may get larger vessels added to the same convoy which only had small vessels before. It's the way SH3 roles the dice.

Don't forget, not all convoys had large 10000+ton ships sailing with them.
