Heres a theory as to why the small mercants are the toughest. All the mercants in SH3 are made out of the same amount of steel. So a smaller ship in order to use up all the steel would have thicker sides and a stronger keel.

Makes sense to me at least

That's nothing. There was an occasion when I was waiting for two cargoes to go down which eventually took 5 days. Being a tight fisted sob I didn't want to waste any more torps.
