Questions Concerning Ship Name Files

[garychildress]

If there are no BCs listed in the ship names file, will BBs and BCs draw from the same BB list? 

If there are no CAs listed in the ship names file, will CAs and CLs draw from the same CL list? 

And is there a way to have aircraft carriers (CVs and/or CVLs) as a specific list in the ship names file? 

Many thanks for any help!

Cruisers and Capital ships seem to rely on their complement's (BB and BC, CA and CL) list if they run out

CVs and CVLs don't, so if you want them to share you have to add the names to both

Many thanks, Seawolf!

Has anyone tried adding a heading [CV] to the ship names file and had any luck with getting CVs to draw specifically from that list?

EDIT: Never mind. I just saw the Germany ship name list and it's there. Doh!!
