2 Charles Bush
3 Edward D. Mann
2 Otis Finn

Their ranks differ (as they have been on board for different times) but it is clear their base ratings were identical. Clearly the name generation database is too small, and searching today I saw there has been some work on this. However, it appears that it was stopped (or is at least not yet complete). Any update?

I can confirm this too in SH4 ver. 1.5 US Pacific Theatre. In Base the names of at least 2 (available) crewmembers are the same as crew onboard, with the same ability levels, but different ranks of course. Despite their high abilities I'm reluctant to recruit them in case having 3 "Kevin H. Schmitt's" affects (triples) their fatigue level or does something else ...
