As Timmy mentioned, it depends on what year you are playing in. In the the early stages of the war, it was rare to have an armed merchant.

As the war progressed, merchant ships on both sides saw the rising threat of enemy suface ships, submarines and u-boats and had to defend themselves.

As the war progresses, it will be the rare merchant that isn't armed.

Good point- I love the depth of this game!
