What does the type entry mean? can you give a certain type of ship a certain position?

The type entry describes the type of design of the ship. IE. attack ship, defense ship, carrier, mine sweeper, etc. I have tried entering specific types on this line with no luck. The game seems to put in whatever it pleases.

A very old post but I did not find a newer one about this problem. I have observed the same as Kim: the ship types seem to be ignored. Anyone knows something else??
Another observation I made: Ships with no weapons at all (no point defense too) are placed outside the formation and at random at the beginning of the combat. Sometimes with deadly consequences!
