Actually, the computer will just start numbering from whatever number you forced onto the ship name. I.e., if you build another "bubonic" class ship, it's number would be 0005. I figured this out a while ago, when I tried tracking refitted ships by incrementing the 1000's digit ("Lion 0001" refitted to "Lion II 1001"; the next Lion II to roll off the construction queue was then called "Lion 1002" by the computer).
