Some ships were terrible
PPL for example - if you made contact and saw the ship then broke contact and sailed back to the ship sometime later it would be almost completely sunk
In fact nearly all but the small and coastal merc showed some signs and you can guess how many ships were built using stock models as a base

Tis why when you sailed back to port you could hear and see ships sinking
Fix was to raise the draft a bit
Too much and the ship will float above water

This was obviously one that got missed

Nice to see you Rowi my friend
Hope all is well with you
Hi bbw,

you can eliminate this bug by fixing the draught (surfaced) in the SIM-file (of each ship). The ships will keep this fixed draft, no more "hover craft" or ships which "run on ground".
