I was contemplating doing a Duisberg/Beta Convoy scenario, and started looking at producing the ship logs for the convoy ships. I was wondering if one or both of the following could be provided:1. A revised page 167 of the full download that has the Convoy ship logs, that would include the standard displacement of the ships listed.*2. A revised Design file - hull boxes.pdf file that would include rows for AKs, AOs, etc.* I started doing searches on the web to get my own info. I think I found the SS Anaconda, but couldn't find the SS Mary Mack.Thanks!

1. A revised page 167 of the full download that has the Convoy ship logs, that would include the standard displacement of the ships listed.*

The problem is that merchant ships don't use 'Standard Displacement' as a measurement and is rarely, if ever, noted. All merchants (that I've seen) are measured in either 'Gross Registered Tonnage' (GRT) or 'Dead Weight Tonnage' (DWT) and are calculated somewhat differently (generally speaking, GRT is used for passenger and passenger/freight vessels while DWT is used for tankers and pure freighters) . For the purposes of the game, however, DWT is used to calculate hull boxes (although GRT can be used as well, if that's the only information available. The net difference, in game terms, would not be significant).

2. A revised Design file - hull boxes.pdf file that would include rows for AKs, AOs, etc.

AKs, AOs, APs would use the Merchant row of the Design Table (included with Amendment 1) since all of these are, by their nature, merchant designs.
