Copy a USN CV. Call her Yorktown. Give her a list in the dat. Burn the paint job slightly in the right places. Put smoke on her if you like. Place her where you need her to be at Midway.

Make her easy to sink.

So yeah, it can be done.

There are problems with this stuff, though. If the player is near the battle, it might be confusing.

I suppose it might be possible to make ships that are zoned such that they can be heavily damaged by BOMBS, but not sunk at all by bombs. Put the propulsion damage up on top where it is impossible to miss Iit could go from below where it belongs to the superstructure so attacking subs can hit it, OR planes.

Have scripted planes attack ship, they will virtually always knock out engines because of faked DM. Ship is now dead in the water, but won't sink---but until that air attack acts normal. That might be better.
