1. SH4 does not give names. Like SH3, the names included in the cfg files are not utilized.
2. Loading times for SH4's museum are much shorter than SH3. Even better, no model cloning is necessary - you can allocate a unique paint scheme based on nationality and even time period. i am not 100% sure, but I think you can also assign names based on nationality, so that Generic Tanker X is named "Esso Mudville" on the US roster and "Nishizawa Maru" on the Japanese roster.
If you can allocate names based on time period, that would create some interesting possibilities - names could be struck on the date that the real vessel was lost.
I will be reinstalling SH4 to test some subs for my WWI mod, so I will let you know for sure in a day or two about ship names.
