How are Generic Ships Randomly Picked?

Does anyone know how the simulation randomly picks the generic entry ships spawned in campaigns (GWX 1.03)? For example, if the simulation will be spawning a generic Type 102 British ship, how does it select the ship it will spawn?

With 11 or more Type 102 ships to choose from, there must be a method or order it uses to select the ships. It could be alphabetical based on EnglishNames or alphabetical based on Seafolder name, it could be based on tonnage of the vessel or based on some other dimension like speed, length, width etc. of the available ships.

Obviously, we would want this selection to be totally random to give us ample diversity in the ships we encounter. The reason I ask is that I've encountered a great deal of non-randomless lately and was wondering if I had done something in my setup to cause this. Any help would be much appreciated. Cheers
