You CAN change the tonnage for each ship - you can make it whatever you want. Also, you can make it vary wildly if you use SH3 Commander, or, you can prevent SH3 Commander from varying the tonnage. So if you set a C3 (for example) to 2,400 tons and if you set the variation in SH3 Commander's Ship displacements file to "Upper=2" and "Lower=0.5" you'll get C3s that vary between 1200 tons and 4800 tons. If, on the other hand, you set the variation to "Upper=1" and "Lower=1" you'll get C3s that do not vary.

However, what's hard-coded is a slight variation: each time a sunk ship's tonnage is generated for a career score, a few tons are always added or subtracted from the score, so for a C3 that is registered as 6270 tons (as it is in SH3 Commander), the actual tonnage scored will always be between about 6265 and 6275 tons, even if you make SH3 Commander have no tonnage variation.
