Are these real ship types not generic ships? In the late '80s I met a British army logistics officer who joined the CF as a specialist in loading army stuff into ships. A strange sort of gap in the body of information I thought. Then I cracked the ship loading manual on the shelf at FMCHQ - it had drawings of Liberty ships! Nothing modern or RoRo, all through deck loading techniques. Sea cans have revolutionized shipping, and maybe that officer wasn't too sad to see their upsurge either.
