How are Generic Ships Randomly Picked?

As to randomness
Seems the game does pick a selection of tonnages
Not sure how its done but even then in testing 1.04 I have found you can still get 5\6 ships of the same type in a 25+ ship totally randomised convoy

I wonder, if not unlike the limitation that Ichy allegedly found with random skin selection, if there is an inbuilt limit on the number of units SH3 will choose from of any type at any time?

I mean, something *is* amiss, as evidenced by the selection bias of ships starting with letters higher up the alphabet.
