Problem with ships tonnage

Hi

I have a strange problem, I don't know whether it's a bug or not. In museum I can find some liners, for example, Chatham transport, Cunard Liner etc. All of them are described as 'Passenger Liner' and have the same tonnage - 24 000 if US ship and 18 000 if british. I checked .cfg files. They look normal, I mean Chatham has 5,649 BRT, large old liner has 14 000. The same issue can be noticed when you see the medium tankers ( T2 and Empire Celt tanker). Although there're correct (and different) values in their .cfg files, both of these units have the same tonnage. I don't want it to be so please, tell me what should I change to get correct tonnage values.

Thanks for help

I do not know how to help you switch the values. What is the difference if the values are different?

Ok I think I got it. First I changed in EnglishNames.cfg from Passenger Liner to, for example 'Chatham Transport', then in roster directory edited NCHT.cfg file and set 'Display Name=Chatham Transport'. Now it works correct, hope you understood my problem, thanks for reply.
