So far yeah, but is a good question. Should we stop at 45 or include the later years? I have to admit that some of these ships had a interesting history after ww2, but the whole recon manual in SH is about class not ships. And gathering info about a class sometimes is harder than on a particular ship.

Just because you will go on tankers, check what I made so far on Cimmarion. It was very hard for me to find info about the T2-3 oiler class, mostly the info I found was about ships included in this class, not the class itself. Anyway, it was very interesting to found out that only 30 tankers were build, 4 converted to carriers (!) and only 1 lost (USS Neosho (AO-23); launched & commissioned 1939, sunk during the Battle of the Coral Sea, 1942). Now I feel a bit lame after I sunk dozens of these tankers in the game

One more thing, now that I got your attention. Can you please give me a link to read about how to make tutorials? I saw those made by you, excelent job by the way, and Im thinking to make some books using the tutorial engine. For example, take the story of some famous ships and add some heavy image fedback to it. It would be a very nice lecture on long travels, finally something to do on our boats while wait for a target.
