TMO/RSRDC Understanding convoy spawns

First of, it's the Yamato (named after a province in Japan). Isoroku Yamamoto was the Japanese admiral who planned the attack on Pearl Harbour.

Now that the history lesson's out of the way...

The convoy/ship despawning has nothing to do with mods, but it's just the way the game handles units. There is a file called the "campaign layer" that is loaded when you start the game. The campaign layer dictates when and where what ships spawn, their route, type of vessels, chance of spawning etc. When the ship/convoy reaches the end point on the route, rather than having them stop in the middle of the sea, the game simply despawns them.
