Ship Names Update April 16

Well, I wasn't going to do another update for awhile, because research takes time, but I was playing and sank a ship, and it didn't get a name! So, a little looking around showed me one I had missed.

This incorporates the two I put in the one last week (Arandor Star and Q-Ship), plus the BBWarspite (thanks Murr44!). It also includes OTTender, the Royal Navy's fleet oilers (the 'Dale' class - Barrdale, Derwentdale etc).

One problem with those ships, though - they show up in the game as 16000-17000 tons. Jane's Fighting Ships gives 17000 tons, but a The World's Merchant Fleets 1939 shows that this is the full-load naval displacement. The Gross Register Tonnage - what the u-boat captain who sank one would be credited with - was only about 8200 tons. I've changed it in my own Sea folder. What you do is up to you.

Anyway, install - as always - into SH3 Commander's Cfg folder.
