so perhaps the ships you see are part of the Campaign_RND.mis file??

You are right. Indeed, no matter if you load a single mission or a campaign save, the game still loads the campaign layers.
This is precisely the reason why, when loading a single mission, you must wait the same (long) time as when loading a campaign save. The game still loads the campaign files in full.
