When turning off Man the Guns to see the historical ship classes names, I was reminded of all the historical flavor text that came with them. All of this is gone in the Man the Guns version of the game, which is really disappointing.

I think it could be easily returned. The names and text can be added back, making the historical name the default name for the hull. Then, players can modify the name to their desire. A mod could easily do this, but I would think Paradox would want to restore their own researched content.

I've literally complained about the exact same thing multiple times. Now all we have are generic nameless hulls. Which is extremely lame and non-immersive.

proposed that a drop-down list could be inserted in the menu of the name of the historical classes of countries of the maritime hull. If you are editing, for example, German submarines, Class II, VII, IX, XIV and XXI could appear, and so on, depending on the type of hull because I think the current system makes remembering the specific names of ship classes and I think this little adjustment would be easy to insert in the game. and as I have believed these flavor makes the game more immersive and complete
