SH3 Commander was wrong!

Yes, this is because SH3 does not record the nationality of sunken ships. Hence, as SH3 maintains no record, SH3Cmdr has no way of knowing either, thus a name is pulled from a generic list created by a number of people (as you know BBW ).

As it currently stands, most merchants and tankers (excluding Liberty's and Victory's) pull from the same list of names. But there's no reason for this to be "set in concrete" - name lists can be created specific for any ship included in SH3.
