Default Thrown weapons in IN

I may be missing something, but I can't find anywhere in the published materials that deals with throwing things like knives, hatchets, spears, or even rocks. I roughed out the following for knives and hatchets for the seafaring IN game I'm trying to start:
Thrown Axe:
Power: 1 Acc:1 Range: str

Thrown knife:
Power: 0 Acc:0 Range: 1/2str
I did it by comparing the range increments of GURPS weapons that do appear in IN, and applying a roughly similar ratio to guess what fraction of ST to use in IN. I did something similar with acc and power, i.e. thrown axes and knives do basically the same damage as handheld in GURPS, so they have the same power in IN.
