Yep that had occurred to me too, which is why I've had a rethink and come to the conclusion it would be better to go into the englishnames.cfg and change the neutral entries to:

M07X=Medium Merchant 07 (Unidentified)

Therefore, you don't have to edit shipnames.cfg or change the way it assigns names, the patrol log would just say:

'Ship Sunk! Medium Merchant 07 (Unidentified) ####tons'.

Seems the all-round best option to me.

1734 Torpedo failed to explode.

Oh, how those Brits must have laughed at you.....

Randomize ship tonnage option, right?
