WTF.
seriously: why wouldn't the pre-spawn icon have a Convoy label as opposed to a Warship label? the convoy consists of 2 AK, 1 AO, 1 Liner, 2 CL.

You'll only get the one icon initially, until the group does spawn. It was listed as "Warship" due to the fact that there are 2x CL in the group. You might also encounter "Convoys" that might have 2x DD in with the group itself, and if they aren't set to "Escorts=True" (or whatever), then they are part of the "Convoy", and you'll see the preliminary tag of "Warship". That's just a vagary of the game. They really should just use "Group of Unidentified Ships" or something. Watch out for similar when a Seaplane Tender or CVE are part of a "Convoy". In conjunction with a half-dozen escorts, they'll pack a whallop of whoop on your noggin in short order, especially on a clear day with calm seas... Don't hang around PD too long.
