edit, just a thought, are you making sure to go to the "merchants" entry in the rec manual? Merchants are not listed under nations in the manual but in a completely separate category listing all merchants in the game (sorry if you do know this, but just checking!).

Otherwise, you could try using the weps officer to identify the ship, bring it up in the manual and then press the button that returns you to the initial page - this may show you where he's finding them!

thanks fw66 -

the war ships are british on the british page but then i go to merchant on the british page and its the same page - war ships??

i will try your idea and see what happens

if there is a different catagory that i am not aware of then please tell me. i am only aware of the two catagories on the front of the manual.

cheers!

For merchants go to Handellschiffe
Very first one
All mercs are lumped together in that section from all nations

The Nation folders only have warships in

Well, when looking up merchants in the manual, they are not listed by nation. If, for example you see a merchant with a british merchant flag, you don't go to the section of the manual showing British flags, there is one with no flag simply called merchants/handelschiffe.

Merchants are put into this section because they could appear under the flag of any nation.

The sections identified by flags only show warships and naval vessels.

So, essentially, you need to scroll through the manual until you find not the British category, but the merchants category. You then click on this and the list of merchants should appear.

I'm sorry, I'm not sure if that's very clear, but hope it helps!

EDIT: yes, exactly as said in the above post!
